This lecture covers the design of isothermal reactor systems, focusing on problem-solving algorithms, stoichiometry, and rate laws. The material progresses through chapters 2 to 5, with a detailed analysis of reactor design equations and concentration profiles. The instructor presents examples of reactor analysis using MATLAB simulations, emphasizing the tradeoff between reactivity and pressure drop. The lecture concludes with a discussion on the impact of system parameters on reactor performance.
