Introduction to Reactor Design: CHE 3K4

Administrative

Class materials

Announcements (previous ones) or follow @3k4reactors

07 Mar: details about the course project are posted now. It is due sooner than you think. Material in prior classes and the coming classes are required to successfully complete this project.
- Update: you can do the project on your own; with one other person; or in a group of 3. Groups larger than 3 are not allowed, there isn't enough work in the project to have groups larger than this. Groups smaller than 3 obviously will require more work per person, but then that's your choice.

10 Mar: assignment 4 consists of the following 40 points:
- Questions 2 [9] and 3 [11 points] from tutorial 6.
- Question 1 from tutorial 7 [20 points].

Amna Hyder, McMaster Integrated Science, is conducting a study on student perceptions of scientific literacy at McMaster. This research is part of her Independent Project in the Honours Integrated Science program at McMaster University. As part of her research, Amna Hyder is inviting you to take part in a 15-question anonymous online survey that will take about 5 minutes to complete. Please use this link to complete the online survey. Thanks. Kevin

12 Mar: solutions to tutorial 5 are posted (assignment 3B)
12 Mar: I've been asked to post a summary of the problem solving strategy (plan/explore/etc). There is a complete worked out example in the midterm solutions for the last question. You should also read this article - note that the method was designed here at McMaster, and is now widely uses across the world by other universities.
14 Mar: for those that missed the class, here are the notes used in class tonight. However most of the material written up on the board was derived, or from memory, so you'll have to watch the video for that.
