Introduction to Reactor Design: CHE 3K4

Administrative

Class materials

Announcements (previous ones) or follow @3k4reactors

25 Mar: code on this page has been updated to show how to find an optimum.
27 Mar: bring your laptops to class; the class will be tutorial-like, with Q&A, so everyone can benefit from each other's questions and the answers.
- Update: I'm glad that many of you got your problems sorted out with your code at the tutorial class tonight, and figured out now how to set up the course project. That was exactly the purpose, so that you can all learn from each other, even if you are different stages of the project.

Thursday's class will be back to a regular lecture.

28 Mar: the course project scope, like all engineering projects, has just been updated. Please download the revised PDF; changes are marked in red text. It is due on 05 April, at 15:00 (updated).
01 Apr: course evaluations are running. The comments and feedback you provide are extremely helpful to improve this course, and other courses that I teach at McMaster.
