Its content can be divided into two parts: reaction kinetics and reactor design and analysis. new knowledge is gained about the classification of chemical reactors, operating mode of reactors used in heterogeneous processes, technological calculations, and kinetic criteria. reaction engineering studies the changes in variables within a reactor so that reactor conditions and operations can be optimized to achieve the best economics. this is reactor design and analysis. we can say that reaction kinetics are related to a specific location or "point" within the reactor, and reactor design and analysis uses this localized information to optimize the entire reactor.
