Chemical Reaction Engineering
Graduate courses in Chemical Reaction Engineering have tended to become more oriented to catalytic science because of significant developments in this field. Discussion of transport effects in reaction systems appears to have lost some of its prevalence. Dispersed phase reactors receive no more than a modicum of mention due to limited familiarity with the use of population balance equations. It is heartening, however, that an industrial reaction engineering course organized by Hickman15 under the auspices of Purdue CISTAR provided an excellent picture of reaction engineering practice.
