Slide 6

The above expressions have the simple relation
between the four terms:

XA, -rA, V, FA0
Knowing any three allows the forth to be found directly

In design of reactor
The size of reactor
needed for a given duty

The extent of conversion
in a reactor of given size

In kinetic studies
The reaction rate may
be easily obtained
without integration
Make its use very
attractive in kinetic studies

This is a differential equation, for the reactor as a
whole the expression must be integrated.

rA is dependent on the concentration or conversion
of materials. Grouping the terms accordingly, we
obtain

If the feed on which conversion is based, or,
there are products in the feed

XAi: A conversion in the feed (inlet)
XAf: A conversion in the outlet


Slide 20

For the special case of constant-density system

and

The performance equation can be expressed in
terms of concentration


Slide 21

Eqs. 17 to 19 can be written either in terms of
concentrations or conversions.
For systems of changing density, it is more
convenient to use conversions.

Whatever its form, the performance equations
interrelate:
Rate of reaction
Extent of reaction
Reactor volume
Feed rate

If any one of
these quantities
is unknown it
can be found
from the others

Slide 26

By comparing the performance expressions of
batch reactor with those of plug flow reactor:

(1) For system of constant density
(constant-volume batch or constantdensity plug flow) the performance
equations are identical, for plug
flow is equivalent to t for the batch
reactor, and equation can be used
interchangeably.


Slide 27

(2) For systems of changing density there
is no direct correspondence between
the batch and the plug flow equations
and the correct equation must be used
for each particular situation. In this
case the performance equations cannot
be used interchangeably.

The concentration of components in the
mixed feed stream is

These data show that B is the limiting component,
so for 75% conversion of B and ε=0,
