Schmidt reactions computational study

By a parametric study we mean a presentation of the way in which the performance of the system depends on the choice of a parameter. If we want to make a parametric study of the effect of variations of, say, temperature, which affects k but nothing else, this form is ideal, because k is present in Da but in no other parameter. We perform a quick computation of the conversion (%) and time to reach 99% of steady state (min), for U = 0, 0 = 12 s, and k = 6.2 X 10 7 exp — 14000/T s 1 (this last datum is a rate constant taken from L. D. Schmidt s The Engineering of Chemical Reactions (Oxford, 1997) for a reaction involving butadiene). Any spreadsheet program will immediately give a table of results such as ...
