Collection of Matlab codes to solve typical CRE (Chemical Reaction Engineering) problems
Collection of Matlab codes to solve typical CRE (Chemical Reaction Engineering) problems
Before running the codes (described in the following), remember to add the kinetics folder to MATLAB search path using the command addpath. As an example:
addpath('C:\Teaching\Chemical Reaction Engineering\Matlab4CRE\kinetics')
The MATLAB codes are organized in the following folders:
kinetics: classes to manage kinetic mechanism (together with thermoynamic data and transport properties)
simulation: codes for simulating tubular reactors and transient, perfectly stirred reactors
regressions: examples of regression analysis to evaluate kinetic parameters in batch reactors
design: codes to size ideal reactors in isothermal conditions
exercises: excercises from Fogler (Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, 4th Edition) and Levenspiel (Chemical Reaction Engineering, 3rd Edition)
reactive_distillation: example of reactive ditillation coupled to semi-batch reactor
practicals: exercises proposed in the practical sessions of Chemical Reaction Engineering course at Politecnico di Milano
