Lectures

Goal

Application of the basic thermodynamic principles on the chemical reactor processes. Reactors with fluidized and with circulating fluidized bed. Connecting the issues of chemical processes thermodynamics with the issues of heat and mass transfer, and fuid flow. Combustion thermodynamics, chemical balance, Gibbs free energy.

Outcome

Students are being made capable to conduct theoretical and experimental research of the thermodynamic processes in different types of chemical reactors.

Theoretical teaching

Chemical reactors – example of the fluidized bed. Thermodynamic analysis of chemical reactions, free energy and free enthalpy. Chemical reactions kinetics. Chemical reactions mass balance. Chemical reactions energy balance. Application of the basic thermodynamic principles on the chemical reactions. Calculation of chemical reactions during combustion and coal, as well as biomass gasification in the fluidized bed. Calculation of chemical reactions during direct iron ore reduction in the fluidized bed.
