Mixing-Cup Averages

Example 8.1 Find the mixing-cup average outlet concentration for an isothermal, first-order reaction with rate constant k that is occurring in a laminar flow reactor with a parabolic velocity profile as given by Equation (8.1). [Pg.266]

The double integral in Equation (8.4) is a fairly general definition of the mixing-cup average. It is applicable to arbitrary velocity profiles and noncircular cross sections but does assume straight streamlines of equal length. Treatment of curved streamlines requires a precise and possibly artificial definition of the system boundaries. See Nauman and Buffham. ... [Pg.268]

The hnal step in the design calculations for a laminar flow reactor is determination of mixing-cup averages based on Equation (8.4). The trapezoidal rule is recommended for this numerical integration because it is easy to implement and because it converges O(Ar ) in keeping with the rest of the calculations. [Pg.277]

Both F 0) and F R) vanish for a velocity profile with zero slip at the wall. The mixing-cup average is determined when the integral of F(r) is normalized by Q = 7tR u. There is merit in using the trapezoidal rule to calculate Q by integrating dQ = InrVzdr. Errors tend to cancel when the ratio is taken. [Pg.277]

Solution Example 8.1 laid the groundwork for this case of laminar flow without diffusion. The mixing-cup average is... [Pg.278]

Example 8.5 Use the method of lines combined with Euler s method to determine the mixing-cup average outlet for the reactor of Example 8.4. ... [Pg.280]

Turn now to the flat-plate geometry. The coefficients A, B, and C, and the mixing-cup averaging technique must be revised. This programming exercise is left to the reader. Run the modified program with ki = I but without... [Pg.286]

When an axial position corresponding to four mixing elements is reached, calculate the mixing-cup average composition... [Pg.290]

Restart the solution of Equation (8.12) using a uniform concentration profile equal to the mixing-cup average, a(z) =... [Pg.290]

Turn off the reaction by setting RateConst =0. The resulting final value for the mixing-cup average, avgC, is 1, confirming the material balance. [Pg.515]

In practice, it may be more simple to evaluate E(t) either through the washout function or the cumulative RTD F(t) by making a step change in inlet tracer concentration and measuring outlet concentration by the mixing cup average. Such a procedure is advocated by Nauman [4]. [Pg.257]

Solution For a first-order reaction, we can arbitrarily set am = 1 so that the results can be interpreted as the fraction unreacted. The choices for 7 and J determined in Example 8.4 will be used. The marching-ahead procedure uses Equations (8.25), (8.26), and (8.27) to calculate concentrations. The trapezoidal rule is used to calculate the mixing-cup average at the end of the reactor. The results are... [Pg.280]
