1. Uploading your submission
Unless specifically instructed otherwise in the assessment document, please upload
your work as a single .pdf file via the submission link on Moodle and by the given
deadline.
Wherever possible you should type your answers and follow guidelines in the
assessment document on the preferred format (font, line spacing and so on).
If you do have to include any elements that are not typed/computer generated (e.g.
figures, diagrams, equations etc.), or you are unable to type your answers for any
reason, please follow the advice for submitting handwritten answers for any submission
that requires scanning documents (the webpage refers to 24-hour timed exams but is
applicable to all online submissions).
If for any reason you are not able to use the app recommended by ISD at the link
above, you can consult the following resources for advice about preparing your
submission:
Submitting handwritten assignments to Moodle using mobile or tablet devices – MS One
Drive App
If handwritten work is not readable then it would not be possible to allocate marks
to the work.
Please DOUBLE CHECK that the file you are uploading is the correct one and is
complete (with all pages visible) before the deadline. You will not be allowed to
re-submit the file after the deadline.
2. Technical Problems
If you encounter difficulties downloading or submitting your assessment via Moodle, then
please immediately notify (by email) the Teaching & Learning Team
(chemeng.learning.technologist@ucl.ac.uk).
Please note that the final submission must be via Moodle.
Work submitted via email will not be accepted and will not be marked.

CENG0018 Chemical Reaction Engineering II – Project
Answer ALL questions.
Each question carries marks distributed as shown.
In questions 1, 2 and 3, you are asked to evaluate and troubleshoot a chemical process
(Q1) which uses an old technology (Q2) as well as evaluate a new technology (Q3) that a
company is considering for the manufacturing of a specialty chemical. In question 4
another part of the process is analysed. For this purpose, various aspects of catalyst and
reactor design need to be assessed.
For Q1, Q2, Q3, the gas phase reaction considered is
C2H4 + 2HCl + 1/2O2 → C2H4Cl2 + H2O
A + 2B + 1/2C → D + E
The reaction takes place in a heterogeneous, supported catalyst with reaction rate law
