 Introduction

• This lab is one of the most important labs in the

chemical engineering study.

• In this lab, student will perform experiments to

support their theoretical study of Chemical
Reaction Engineering. It includes the experimental
studies using different type of reactors for
determining kinetic and RTD data.
 Course Outcomes
By the end of semester, students should be able to:

• CO1: Design the experiments to acquire the

kinetic and RTD data.

• CO2: Analyse the experimental data to obtain the

reaction rate expression (reaction order and
specific reaction rate constant).

• CO3: Inculcate good communication skill and

team working spirit.

 Important information

 Grouping will be arranged by lecturer that consists of

maximum of 5 students in those categories

 The students who are in UMP need to record the

practical work for reference those who are at red zone
and borneo area. The report preparation need to be
done in group
