ChENGINEER SPACE

The Reac­tor Lab is a didac­tic soft­ware pro­gram that pro­vides sim­u­la­tions of a vari­ety of chem­i­cal reac­tors. Stu­dents can actively learn about chem­i­cal reac­tions and reac­tors by per­form­ing exper­i­ments and ana­lyz­ing data — quickly, safely, and inex­pen­sively. The pro­gram can be down­loaded free of charge and is avail­able for most com­put­ers and in Eng­lish, Span­ish, and Por­tuguese. The Lab is not a gen­eral pur­pose simulator.

Those who have used the Lab range from high school chem­istry stu­dents to chem­i­cal engi­neer­ing uni­ver­sity and grad­u­ate stu­dents, to pro­fes­sion­als in indus­try. Lit­tle or no train­ing is required for oper­a­tion of the lab because of its con­sis­tent design. In addi­tion, infor­ma­tion about each object is dis­played at the bot­tom of the win­dow as the cur­sor passes over that object.
