A bench-scale continuous catalytic reactor with automated chemical analysis, data logging and control capabilities will be assembled from purchased components for use in undergraduate laboratory instruction in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Students will design experimental protocols and operate this equipment in three different undergraduate classes: the current senior Unit Operations laboratory course; the sophomore Methods and Measurements laboratory; and the upper-class division independent directed study course taken by highly motivated students. For the Unit laboratory, reaction kinetics fundamentals and catalyst activity, selectivity and performance as a function of temperature and pressure will be taught by reactions such as n-butane over a platinum-loaded zeolite catalyst. For the sophomore measurements lab, experimental design, statistical analysis of data, introductory diffusional effects, and dimensional analysis will be taught with simpler experiments, such as trace analysis for residence time distribution and adsorption isotherm determination as functions of temperature and pressure. Independent studies depend on the students and professors involved. The addition of a continuous kinetics experiment is part of an ongoing updating effort which includes complementary sets of batch and continuous experiments in the undergraduate laboratory.

一个具有自动化学分析、数据记录和控制功能的实验规模连续催化反应器将由购买的组件组装而成，用于内布拉斯加州林肯大学化学工程系的本科实验室教学。学生将在三个不同的本科课程中设计实验方案并操作该设备：当前的高级单元操作实验课程；二年级方法与测量实验室；和上层阶级的独立指导学习课程，由高度积极的学生参加。对于单元实验室，反应动力学基础和催化剂活性、选择性和性能作为温度和压力的函数将通过正丁烷在负载铂的沸石催化剂上的反应来教授。对于大二的测量实验室，实验设计、数据统计分析、扩散效应入门和量纲分析将通过更简单的实验来教授，如停留时间分布的痕量分析和温度和压力函数的吸附等温线测定。独立研究取决于参与其中的学生和教授。连续动力学实验的增加是正在进行的更新工作的一部分，包括在本科实验室中批量和连续实验的补充集。
