Equations

This document provides information about Professor Xijun Hu's CENG 211 Reaction and Reactor Engineering course. It summarizes key equations for modeling different types of reactors, including batch catalytic reactors, tubular reactors, continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR), fixed bed reactors, fluidized bed reactors, and flow systems. It also covers stoichiometry, concentration and conversion calculations, reaction rates, and properties of heterogeneous catalysts like pore volume and average pore radius.
