Isothermal reactor design Assignment 3
Example (1) • Calculate the time necessary to achieve a given conversion X for the irreversible second-order reaction taken place in a Batch reactor • Solution: • Step (1) Mole Balance • The mole baIance on a constant-volume, V = Vo, batch reactor is
Second step is to write the rate law: • Third step is the Stoichiometry: • Then combine all the three steps together in one equation
Example (2) • Calculate the space time necessary to achieve a given conversion X for the irreversible first-order reaction taken place in a CSTR Solution Step (1) Mole Balance
Second step is to write the rate law: • Third step is the Stoichiometry: • Combine and rearrange:
