One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Design equations for batch reactors

Design equations for batch reactors centre on relating reaction rate to the change of moles or concentration with time in a closed, unsteady-state vessel. For exams, you must master the mole balance, how to express it in terms of concentration or conversion, and how to integrate it for different rate laws because these equations are the basis for sizing, time estimation, and performance analysis of batch operation.
