Conversion and Reactor Sizing - Coggle Diagram
Conversion and Reactor Sizing
Questions we face problem
reactor series
Equations needs integration
Design Equations
PFR
volume is necessary to achieve conversion X.
Batch Reactor
t is the necessary time to achieve conversion X in a batch reactor
PBR
-catalyst weight is necessary to achieve conversion X.
CSTR
V is the CSTR volume necessary to achieve conversion X
Learning Outcome
apply the design equation to calculate the volume of reactors
evaluate the best reactor arrangement (single and series)
develop the design equation for batch and flow reactors
Define Conversion, X
differentiate between space time and space velocity
Reactor Sizing
PFR
V = F_A0 ∫_0^X▒dX/(-r_A )
In the Levenspiel plots, volume of PFR can be considered as the area of below the graph
CSTR
V = F_A0*X/(-r_A)
In the Levenspiel plots, volume of CSTR can be considered as the area of the rectangle
Reactors in Series
To simplify
Where the left side is the CSTR volume, and the right side is the PFR volume
