After deep reflection, we chose chemical kinetics from basic to intermediate as our first-course sample for the realization of the prototype.
This kinetic course contains:
- Introduction to Thermodynamics.
- Definitions.
- Thermodynamic laws.
- Hess law & free energy.
- Kinetic Definitions (Reaction rate, kinetic constants, Activation energy).
- Ideal reactors.
- Virtual interactive experiments.
- Determination of partial & global reaction rates.
- Determination of activation energy.
- Determination of an empirical law.
- Validation of a kinetic law using experiments, modeling & simulation.
- Catalytic reaction.
- Homogeneous catalysis.
- Heterogeneous catalysis.
- Interactive virtual experiment on homogeneous & heterogeneous catalysis.
- Reaction rate, activation energy empirical approach.
- Initiation to the notions of diffusion & some good practices for kinetic studies.
- Reaction mechanisms.
- Definitions.
- Steady-state approximation (SSA).
- Reproduce the first virtual experiment results & select a mechanism using the SSA.
- A real-life complete kinetic study from virtual experiments to modeling and simulation (homogeneous examples).
- A real-life complete kinetic study from virtual experiments to modeling and simulation (heterogeneous examples).
- Conclusions & good practices.
