Rate constant volume reaction

These investigators report that the second-order rate constant for reaction B is equal to 1.15 x 10 3 m3/mole-ksec at 20 °C. Determine the volume of plug flow reactor that would be necessary to achieve 40% conversion of the input butadiene assuming isothermal operating conditions and a liquid feed rate of 0.500 m3/ksec. The feed composition is as follows. 

From the units on the reaction rate constant, the reaction is second order. There is a volume change on reaction and S = —1/2. Thermal expansion will also occur, so equations 3.1.44 and 3.1.46 must be combined to get the reactant concentrations. Since equimolar concentrations of reactants are used, the design equation becomes... 

A material balance analysis taking into account inputs and outputs by flow and reaction, and accumulation, as appropriate. This results in a proper number of continuity equations expressing, fa- example, molar flow rates of species in terms of process parameters (volumetric flow rate, rate constants, volume, initial concentrations, etc.). These are differential equations or algebraic equations. 

For reactions occurring in liquid systems at constant volume, reaction rate is expressed as the number of reactant species (molecules or ions) changed into product species per unit of time and per unit of volume of the reaction system. Rates are expressed as a decrease in reactant concentration or an increase in product concentration per unit time. Therefore, if the substance chosen is reactant A, which has a concentration [A] at any time t. the rate is (—d[A])/(dt), while the rate with regard to a product Y having a concentration [Y] at time t is (d[Y])/(dt). 

Ferrous iron concentrations decreased to below detection in leachate from both cores at the approximate pore volume that O2 began to be detected in leachate. The modeled Fe(II) concentrations in leachate from core 1 (Fig. 8a) were obtained by fitting the rate constant for reaction 3 [using Feo.995Aso.oo5(OH)3] and the Log K for reaction 8 to the experimental data. When O2 concentrations in the cores had decreased to less than 0.02 [xmol/L, reduction of As-enriched Fe oxyhydroxide was initiated at a rate of 6.7e-09 1/s. This rate constant was then used to model the data from core 2, and produced comparable results for Fe(ll) concentrations in leachate and for the pore volume at which Fe(II) concentrationsdecreased to below detection (Fig. 8b). 

This creates a generalized expression for the rate.of reaction carried out at any pressure P but still at a constant volume. The expression can be used- as- it stands for constant volume reactions. Since volume contraction occurs in this reaction, we next have to account for it. In this connection we are not so much interested in the change in the output mol fraction of CO (yco) as we are in the fraction of moles at the input that has been converted. We introduce this by rewriting the rate in terms of Xco> the fraction of the original CO converted (see equation 7.60). This, after some rearrangement, leads to the equation ...

The main use of the equations just presented is in determining the reaction time for a given volume of production. They are equally useful in the reverse problem of determining the rate constant and reaction order for a given reaction from concentration-time data. In gas-phase reactions, pressure can be advantageously used in place of concentration. The rate equations can also be used in their differential or integrated forms.

The concentrations of substrates ca and cp are kept constant with exchange of materials between two material baths. Here cx is the dynamic concentration, and k i are the forward and backward rate constants for reaction /, respectively, and the system is assumed to be homogeneous in space and the volume. The law of mass action yields a nonlinear ordinary differential equation given by...

The definition of the reaction rate has to be combined with an appropriate expression for the rate in terms of the influence of concentration (reaction order) and temperature (rate constant), which are usually determined by measurements. Let us now consider a discontinuous batch experiment and an irreversible constant volume reaction for different reaction orders. 

The recycle ratio R is defined (for a constant volume reaction) as the ratio of the flow rate of fluid returned to the reactor entrance to the flow rate of the fresh feed entering the system ... 

Table 4.10.3 gives the conversion in a batch reactor, a PFR, and a CSTR for different values of 8v for the example of Do = 1. The data indicate that, in contrast to a batch reactor, Xa decreases for a reaction with increasing volume both in a CSTR and in a PFR, which is in general true for a reaction order >0 [see Levenspiel (1996, 1999)]. For a reaction with decreasing volume rate, this is reversed. In both flow reactors (PFR, CSTR), the residence time changes compared to a constant volume reaction, while in a batch reactor the reaction time does not. Thus for reactions with changing volume, the batch and the plug flow performance equations are different. 

If the conversion X in a (in principle integrally operated) reactor is differentially small (in practice below 10%), it is also possible to determine differentially the reaction rate directly from experiments. Such a reactor is then also called a diflFerential reactor. For a constant volume reaction the following expression applies instead of Eq. (4.11.1) ... 

State-selectivity is indeed a central theme in molecular reaction dynamics [1]. This was already clear by 1974, the date of publication of "Molecular Reaction Dynamics" [2]. In 1977 it became "official" with the publication of the American Chemical Society Symposium Volume "State-to-State Chemistry" [3]. The writer presented the introductory paper at the symposium, entitled "State-to-State Cross Sections and Rate Constants for Reactions of Neutral Molecules" [4]. The symposium offered a truly impressive array of speakers and topics, covering many of the subjects of the present Workshop. Reading over the volume a decade later is not a waste of time.
