None. However, it is recommended to have passed the subject Applied Chemical Kinetics (2nd year, 2nd semester).
Chemical Reaction Engineering is of great importance in Chemical Engineering, as it is totally characteristic of this engineering. It is fundamental for the design of a chemical reactor, which is the heart of a chemical plant. Thus, its study is transcendental for the Chemical Industry. In this way, a Chemical Engineer, as a professional in the Chemical Industry, must know the fundamentals of the chemical reaction engineering and be able to apply them to calculate the different types of reactors used in said industry.
The implementation of this subject in the third year of the Degree in Chemical Engineering assumes that the previous knowledge required in it (Fluid Flow and Applied Chemical Kinetics, among others) have already been developed previously. Part of the theoretical knowledge developed in the subject will be completed through laboratory practices in other subjects such as the Integrated Laboratory I. The concepts and competences acquired by the students in the subject can be applied in other subjects such as Process and Product Engineering and, especially, Projects.
