Results of the 2010 Survey onTEACHING CHEMICAL REACTIONENGINEERING

摘要

The Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) course, while currently an essentially undisputed part of the core chemical engineering curriculum, is actually a fairly recent addition to the curriculum. A retrospective paper by Fogler and Cutlip describes the introduction of the topic in the 1940s as one characterized by "gross approximations" for slide-rule calculations as part of broader process operations courses, while today it has developed into a dedicated, more computationally oriented course.
