Synopsis:

Design of equipment where reactants are transformed to products due to chemical or biochemical reactions. Principles of designing basic types of reactors and bioreactors using reaction kinetics. Basic design of structural configurations, using special materials, and other aspects important from the operational point of view (sealing, oscillations). Applications in chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries.
