Mass-energy balance

The mass energy balance ( Initial + in + produced = out + final ) for component] is... 

A fluidized bed is a granulator as well as a dryer. It therefore has operational limits that are defined by its ability to evaporate solvent being sprayed in. Often, the energy required to heat the granules is small compared to that required to evaporate the solvent. The exit gas and particles from the fluid-bed have the same temperature as the granules in the bed due to the intense mixing action of the bed. Hence, the mass energy balance limitations are quite evident ... 

Here x represents a vector of n continuous variables (e.g., flows, pressures, compositions, temperatures, sizes of units), and y is a vector of integer variables (e.g., alternative solvents or materials) h(x,y) = 0 denote the to equality constraints (e.g., mass, energy balances, equilibrium relationships) g(x,y) < 0 are the p inequality constraints (e.g., specifications on purity of distillation products, environmental regulations, feasibility constraints in heat recovery systems, logical constraints) f(x,y) is the objective function (e.g., annualized total cost, profit, thermodynamic criteria). 

Two of the dryer system options incorporate a rotary cascade dryer (Figure 2). The performance is modelled using a straightforward mass-energy balance, where biomass inlet and target outlet moisture are input values, along with biomass flow rate. For a given gas inlet composition, the model then calculates the necessary gas inlet temperature for a specified flow rate. Gas outlet temperature has to be specified. 

The equations developed above can be extended to nonisothermal simations, i.e to reactions for which the heat effects cannot be neglected for highly exothermic reactions. The basic equation used here is the mass-energy balance ... 

Classical chemical engineering has been intensively developed during the last century. Theoretical backgrounds of momentum, mass, energy balances, and equilibrium states are commonly used as well as chemical thermodynamics and kinetics. Physical and mathematical formalisms are related to heat, mass, and momentum transfer phenomena as well as to homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyses. Entire object models, continuum models, and constrained continuum models are frequently used for the description of the events, and for equipment designing. Usual, principal.

We strongly believe that this volume strikes the right balance between fundamentals and applications and fills a gap in the literature in a unique way. It efficiently transmits the information to the reader in a systematic and compact manner. The modular mass/energy balance equations are formulated, used, and then transformed into the design equations for a variety of systems in a simple and systematic manner. 

The authors pay special attention to the exact formulations and derivations of mass energy balances and their numerical solutions. Richly illustrated and containing exercises and solutions covering a number of processes, from oil refining to the development of specialty and fine chemicals, the text provides a clear understanding of chemical reactor analysis and design.
