TOTAL PRESSURE METHOD OF REACTION-RATE DATA ANALYSIS... 

The gas-phase production of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen is carried out in a small constant-volume batch reactor under isothermal conditions and the pilot-plant operator measures the total pressure within the reactor vs. time for subsequent reaction-rate data analysis. A stoichiometric feed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is introduced to the reactor at time t = 0, and the total pressure is 3 atm. Sketch (he raw data as total pressme vs. time. Be sure to indicate the appropriate equation that describes the shape of the curve. 

What method of reaction-rate data analysis is most appropriate to calculate the order of the forward reaction via LLSA when the chemical reaction is nonelementary and reversible, and the equilibrium constant is not infinitely large The constant-volume flask is charged initially with reactants A and B only, not products C and D. 

Many additional refinements have been made, primarily to take into account more aspects of the microscopic solvent structure, within the framework of diffiision models of bimolecular chemical reactions that encompass also many-body and dynamic effects, such as, for example, treatments based on kinetic theory [35]. One should keep in mind, however, that in many cases die practical value of these advanced theoretical models for a quantitative analysis or prediction of reaction rate data in solution may be limited.

The hyperbolic model types have very commonly been used in the analysis of kinetic data, as discussed in Section I. Such applications are sometimes justified on the theoretical bases already alluded to, or simply because models of the form of Eq. (2) empirically describe the existing reaction-rate data. Considerably more complex models are quite possible under the Hougen-Watson formalism, however. For example, Rogers, Lih, and Hougen (Rl) have proposed the competitive-noncompetitive model... 

The usual data analysis procedures for the linearizable models typified by Eq. (2) consist of (1) isolating a class of plausible rival models by means of plots of initial reaction-rate data as a function of total pressure, feed composition, conversion, or temperature (2) fitting the models passing the screening requirements of the initial rates by linear least squares, and further rejecting models based upon physical grounds. 

One important application of analysis of variance is in the fitting of empirical models to reaction-rate data (cf. Section VI). For the model below, the analysis of variance for data on the vapor-phase isomerization of normal to isopentane over a supported metal catalyst (Cl)... 

In selecting a transformation, the more that is known about the theoretical behaviour of the variables, the better is the choice that we make. In reaction rate data, for example, we may use the reciprocal of the absolute temperature in place of the measured centigrade value we may use the logarithm of the rate in place of the calculated value. Viscosity data are usually expressed as logarithms when any analysis is made. Many situations exist in which the transformation is selected on theoretical grounds.

Related Calculations. (1) Integral analysis may be used on data from any reactor from which integral reaction rate data have been obtained. The preceding procedure applies equally well to data from an integral tubular-flow reactor, if the tube-flow material balance... 

We will now apply nonlinear least-squares analysis to reaction rate data to determine the rate law parameters. Here we make estimates of the parameter values (e.g., reaction order, specific rate constants) in order to calculate the rate of reaction, We then search for those values that will minimize the sum of the squared differences of the measured reaction rates, r , and the calculated reaction rates, r. That is, we want the sum of (r — for all data points to be minimum. If we carried out N experiments, we would want to find the parameter values (e.g., E, activation energy, reaction orders) that would minimize the quantity... 

The differential forms of the design equations often appear in reactor analysis and are particularly useful in the inteipretation of reaction rate data. 

Theory and kinetic analysis (38 entries). Many aspects of the theory of kinetic analysis were discussed (27 entries). Some papers were specifically concerned with discrimination of fit of data between alternative kinetic expressions or with constant reaction rate thermal analysis. Other articles (11 entries) were concerned with aspects of the fundamental theory of the subject and with the compensation effect. The content of papers concerned with kinetic analyses appeared to accept the common basis of the applicability of the rate equations listed in Table 3.3. 

The mathematical treatment of FMC data can be accomplished by standard procedures via the solution of mass balance equations, on condition that the data were converted to reaction rate data with Eq. (21). As mentioned above, this requires the determination of the transformation parameter a. Two approaches based on calibration were developed and tested. In the first approach, thermometric signals are combined with the absolute activity of IMB, which had been determined by a separate measurement using an independent analytical technique. Figure 5 shows a calibration for the cephalosporin C transformation catalyzed by D-amino acid oxidase. The activity of the IMB was determined by the reaction rate measurement in a stirred-tank batch reactor. The reaction rate was determined as the initial rate of consumption of cephalosporin C monitored by HPLC analysis. The thermometric response was measured for each IMB packed in the FMC column, and plotted against the corresponding reaction rate. From the calibration results shown in Fig. 5 it can be concluded, independently of the type of immobilized biocatalyst, that the data fall to the same line and that there is a linear correlation between the heat response and the activity of the catalyst packed in the column. The transformation parameter a was determined from... 

For historical reasons, and because many reactants are initially solid, TG kinetic studies often proceed with rate data analysis assuming that the reaction proceeds in the solid phase. This is not necessarily correct, but physical changes, most notably melting, are not detected by TG measurements. It is important, therefore, in describing a reaction adequately to establish whether it proceeds in the liquid or in the solid state.
