  1. Lecture 13 Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) is the field that studies the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions and the design of the reactors in which they take place.

  2. Lecture 13 – Tuesday 2/22/2011 ComplexReactions A +2B  C A + 3C  D • Liquid Phase PFR • Liquid PhaseCSTR • Gas Phase PFR • Gas Phase Membrane Reactor Sweep Gas Concentration Essentially Zero Sweep Gas Concentration Increases with Distance • Semi Batch Reactor

  3. Gas Phase Multiple Reactions

  4. Thenew things for multiple reactions are: • 1. Number Every Reaction • 2. Mole Balance on every species • 3. Rates: • (a) Net Rates of Reaction for every species • (b) Rate Laws for every reaction • (c) Relative Rates of Reaction for every reaction • For a given reaction i: (i) aiA+biB ciC+diD:

  16. Example B: Liquid Phase CSTR The complexliquidphasereactionstakeplace in a 2,500 dm3 CSTR. The feed is equal molar in A and B with FA0=200 mol/min, the volumetric flow rate is 100 dm3/min and the reationvolume is 50 dm3. Find the concentrations of A, B, C and D existing in the reactoralong with the existingselectivity. Plot FA, FB, FC, FD and SC/D as a function of V

  17. Example B: Liquid Phase CSTR CSTR (1) A + 2B →C (2) 2A + 3C → D 1) Mole balance: 17

  25. ComplexReactions ExampleD: MembraneReactorwith ΔP Same reactions, rate laws, and rate constants as example A NOTE: The specificreaction rate k1A is defined with respect to species A. NOTE: The specificreaction rate k2C is defined with respect to species C.

  26. ExampleD: Membrane Reactor with ΔP Because the smallest molecule, and the one with the lowest molecular weight, is the one diffusing out, we will neglect the changes in the mass flow rate down the reactor and will take as first approximation: • 1) Mole balance: We also need to account for the molar rate of desired product C leaving in the sweep gas FCsg

  27. ExampleD: Membrane Reactor with ΔP We need to reconsider our pressure drop equation. When mass diffuses out of a membrane reactor there will be a decrease in the superficial mass flow rate, G. To account for this decrease when calculating our pressure drop parameter, we will take the ratio of the superficial mass velocity at any point in the reactor to the superficial mass velocity at the entrance to the reactor.

  28. ExampleD: Membrane Reactor with ΔP The superficial mass flow rates can be obtained by multiplying the species molar flow rates, Fi, by their respective molecular weights, Mwi, and then summing over all species:

  29. ExampleD: Membrane Reactor with ΔP 2) Rates: Same (5)-(14) 3) Stochiometry:Same (15)-(20) 4) Sweep Gas Balance:

The volumetric flow rate is 10 dm3/min and the initial reactor volume is 1,000 dm3. The maximum volume is 2,000 dm3 and CA0=0.3 mol/dm3 and CB0=0.2 mol/dm3. Plot CA, CB, CC, CD and SS/D as a function of time.
