General Reactor Design Practice in Industry-- Guest lecture given by Dr Lin Li
This lecture begins with a brief overview of design as an important part of engineering education, and then focuses on using fundamental concepts and models in kinetics and transport phenomena to understand, analyze, and make decisions related to reactor design and scale up. As an example of using reaction engineering concept to address real world problems, it will also discuss key challenges for energy transition.
