Batch reactors integral

The differential reactor is the second from the left. To the right, various ways are shown to prepare feed for the differential reactor. These feeding methods finally lead to the recycle reactor concept. A basic misunderstanding about the differential reactor is widespread. This is the belief that a differential reactor is a short reactor fed with various large quantities of feed to generate various small conversions. In reality, such a system is a short integral reactor used to extrapolate to initial rates. This method is similar to that used in batch reactor experiments to estimate... 

Example 4.2 used the method of false transients to solve a steady-state reactor design problem. The method can also be used to find the equilibrium concentrations resulting from a set of batch chemical reactions. To do this, formulate the ODEs for a batch reactor and integrate until the concentrations stop changing. This is illustrated in Problem 4.6(b). Section 11.1.1 shows how the method of false transients can be used to determine physical or chemical equilibria in multiphase systems. 

A simpler method arbitrarily picks values for oq and reacts this material in a batch reactor at constant V and T. When the reaction is complete, P is calculated from the molar density of the equilibrium mixture. As an example, set = 22.2 (P=l atm) and react to completion. The long-time results from integrating the constant-volume batch equations are a = 5.53, 5 = c= 16.63, = 38.79mol/m, and y =0.143. The pressure at equili-...

For the various reactor types this equation simplifies in one way or another, and the resultant expression when integrated provides the basic performance equation for that type of unit. Since in batch reactor or operation, no stream is entering or leaving the reactor,... 

The data given below are typical of the polymerization of vinyl phenylbutyrate in dioxane solution in a batch reactor using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. The reaction was carried out isothermally at 60 °C using an initial monomer concentration of 73 kg/m3. From the following data determine the order of the reaction and the reaction rate constant. Note that there is an induction period at the start of the reaction so that you may find it useful to use a lower limit other than zero in your integration over time. The reaction order may be assumed to be an integer. 

In this section we discuss the mathematical forms of the integrated rate expression for a few simple combinations of the component rate expressions. The discussion is limited to reactions that occur isothermally in constant density systems, because this simplifies the mathematics and permits one to focus on the basic principles involved. We will again place a V to the right of certain equation numbers to emphasize that such equations are not general but are restricted to constant volume batch reactors. The use of the extent per unit volume in a constant volume system ( ) will also serve to emphasize this restriction. For constant volume systems,... 

Use a spreadsheet or equivalent computer program to calculate the concentration of product C as the reaction proceeds with time (/) in a constant-volume batch reactor (try the parameter values supplied below). You may use a simple numerical integration scheme such as Acc =... 

The single particle acts as a batch reactor in which conditions change with respect to time, This unsteady-state behavior for a reacting particle differs from the steady-state behavior of a catalyst particle in heterogeneous catalysis (Chapter 8). The treatment of it leads to the development of an integrated rate law in which, say, the fraction of B converted, /B, is a function oft, or the inverse. 

The interpretation of cA(t) comes from the realization that each cylindrical shell passes through the vessel as an independent batch. Thus, cA(/) is obtained by integration of the material balance for a batch reactor (BR). Accordingly, we may rewrite equation 16.2-11, in terms of either cA(x) or fA(x), as...

Where the composition within the reactor is uniform (independent of position), the accounting may be made over the whole reactor. Where the composition is not uniform, it must be made over a differential element of volume and then integrated across the whole reactor for the appropriate flow and concentration conditions. For the various reactor types this equation simplifies one way or another, and the resultant expression when integrated gives the basic performance equation for that type of unit. Thus, in the batch reactor the first two terms are zero in the steady-state flow reactor the fourth term disappears for the semibatch reactor all four terms may have to be considered.
