Graphical Procedure for Design of Homogeneous Reactors

It may not be always possible to derive analytical expressions for the design of homogeneous reactors for all types of reactions. In such cases, the graphical procedure presented in this section is useful. [Pg.143]

Comparison of space times of CSTR and PFR required for a specified conversion [Pg.144]

A continuous-flow reactor is to be designed to carry out a second-order reversible reaction A B and achieve 90% equilibrium conversion. The rate equation is [Pg.145]

The feed contains 5 kmol/m of A. The reaction rate constant = 0.1 (m /kmol) (1/min) and the equilibrium constant K = 9. What is the space time required to achieve the specified conversion in (i) an ideal CSTR and (ii) an ideal PFR Use the graphical method. [Pg.145]

The equation for the calculation of space time x in an ideal CSTR is [Pg.145]
