•History
–Reaction engineering first arose as a discipline to meet the needs
of the rapidly growing petroleum, petrochemical and chemical
industry in the 1940s and 1950s.
•What is chemical Reaction Engineering
–Chemical engineering, chemistry + engineering
–Reaction engineering, reaction + engineering
–CRE deals with chemically reactive systems of engineering
significance
–Chemical reaction engineering is the discipline that quantifies the interactions of transport phenomena and reaction kinetics inreaction mass
relating reactor performance to operating conditions and feed
variables.
Why study CRE?
•CRE is needed in the process development for both new and existing products
•CRE is necessary in speeding up commercialization of new specialty and commodity chemicals, plastics), and pharmaceuticals.
–Development of fuel-cells for automobiles
–Development of biochemical/biotechnology processes
–Novel processes for synthesis-gas production
–Novel reactors exploiting the use of metallocene catalyst
–Exploitation of combinatorial catalysis for economical development of new processes
•CRE is critical in improving environmental impact of the chemical development of new processes.
•CRE is the key course of chemical engineering major
•FINAL REASON-Ned to study CRE if you want chemical engineering degree
