“Copy data” buttons in labs open popup windows with a table of your experimental data, which can be
copied and pasted into an analysis program. If you don’t see these, change your browser’s preferences
to allow popups.

Lab 8 – Dynamic simulation of an adiabatic packed-bed reactor with feed-product heat ex-
change. This combines the units in labs 6 and 7. The system has feedback of energy and can
exhibit multiple steady states and hysteresis. This system is related to an autothermal reactor.

Lab 7 – Dynamic simulation of a packed bed reactor with heat exchange.

Lab 7 Quiz – Quiz version of Lab 7 in which you do experiments, analyze data, and check for
correct answers.

Lab 6 – Dynamic simulation of a heat exchanger, both co- and counter-current. No reactions
but you should find this interesting.

Lab 2 – Dynamic diffusion and reaction in a porous solid catalyst.

Lab 9 – Hysteresis and multiple steady states in catalytic CSTRs in series. The catalyst is that of
Lab 2, model 2.

Lab 15 – PFR – Plug Flow Reactor simulation – n-th order reaction.

Lab 14 – CSTR – Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor simulation – n-th order reaction.

Lab 13 – Batch reactor simulation – n-th order reaction.
