| Description | |
| Activitats Introductòries | Presentation of the course: description of the course contents, objectives, methodologies, planning and evaluation criteria. |
| Sessió Magistral | Lecture sessions to develop the content of the course, and discussion of practical examples. Support material will be provided to the students in advance through the Moodle space of the course. |
| Pràctiques a laboratoris | The students will work in group on the analysis and design of heterogeneous reactors based on a "real-life" case studies. The solution of these problems will involve the use of numerical computational tools (COMSOL simulation laboratory). A total of 3 short cases and a more complex final design project will be solved. The results of each short case will be presented as a short written report. The design project will be presented as a written report and a public exposition. |
| Presentacions / exposicions | The students will perform a public presentation and discussion of the results attained on their reactor design project |
| Atenció personalitzada | Individual interviews/meetings will be scheduled for those students requiring specific assistance to deal with any aspect of the course |
| Atenció personalitzada |
| Description |
| The instructor will be available during office hours to provide further help and guidance to the students individually. Students should take advantage of these meetings to solve questions and doubts they may have about specific parts of the course material. The hours in which those meetings may be scheduled will be posted in the Moodle workspace before the course starts. Dr. Daniel Montané. Department of Chemical Engineering.

2 practical tests, to be solved individually, will be developed during the course. To pass the course, and regardless of the other items to be evaluated, it is mandatory that: - The average grade of the 2 tests is at least of 5.0 points over 10. - The grade in one of the tests has to be at last of 4.0 over 10 points. |

Second call: Students who need to take the second evaluation call will be graded based on the following items and contributions:
Please, note that a minimum grade of 4.0 over 10.0 will be also required in the Final Exam to pass the course in the second call. NOTE: The use of electronic communication devices (phones, tablets, etc.) during the individual written exercises/exams is strictly forbidden. All devices must be disconnected and stored away while the students are inside the classroom during the entire length of the exercise. If numerical calculation tools were required for the exam, the students will be informed in advance about the conditions and restrictions to use personal laptop computers. In any case, the computers will be used for the sole purpose of the exam and with its network access deactivated (WiFi, GSM, etc.). Students that fail to comply with these rules will be sanctioned with a grade of "0" (zero) in the exercise/exam, regardless of other disciplinary actions taken by the ETSEQ. |
