Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyze the teaching of fluid mechanics and chemical reaction engineering in the chemical engineering graduate and post-graduate courses in Europe.  The analysis was done through a survey sent to over 100 European universities, which were asked about the time allocated for the teaching period, the books and the tools used, the number of students per class, the topics covered, etc.
