About

About the course

Course content

The course is given every second year, next time in spring 2011. The course gives an overview on the methods for building microkinetic model, collecting or theoretically estimating rate constant, and microkinetic simulation. Focus will also on the microkinetic analysis of reaction systems at the atomic level. A project work of microkinetic modeling of a selected reaction system will be included in the course.
