    Introduction to Chemical Reactor Design:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLqYiivj744
    Comments: This video does a good job describing the basic types of batch and flow reactors, however "the selectivity" is defined differently than in the textbook. The selectivity as defined in the video is really the overall yield.
    Batch Reactor Overview:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK0PDXpGi3g
    Comments: In addition to giving a good overview, it gives a hint of things to come by including the second step (rate law) of the algorithm: (1) mole balance, (2) rate law, (3) stoichiometry, (4) combine, (5) evaluate.
    Semibatch Reactor Overview:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuwVGUZZswI
    Comments: Good video, also give reasons to use a semibatch reactor.
    Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) Overview:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOxqN18sA04
    Comments: Derives PFR mole balance in a slightly different way. It uses dV rather than ΔV and taking the limit. Gives advantages and disadvantages of a PFR.
    Solving ODEs/POLYMATH:

    Comments: Good explanation of how to use Polymath.
