Uniform conversion model

B = 1. In this case, the reaction follows the uniform conversion model [31], which indicates that it proceeds under chemical reaction control, and the reactive agent first diffuses through the pore network and later reacts at any internal active site. The particle will retain its initial size during the conversion... [Pg.21]

Kinetics models of gas-solid non-catalytic reaction include uniform conversion model (UCN), multiple fine particle model (GPM), crack core model (CCM), phase-change model (PCM), change void model (CVM), thermal decomposition model (TDM), shrinking core model with multi-step reactions, and multi-step reaction model of formation porous structure in reaction etc. Among these models, the shrinking core model (SCM) is the most important and most widely used. For conversion of solid it is also the most simple and practical model. Commonly it is suitable for experimental data. However, it can only be used in some reactions of many solid reactions. A more complex model must be used in other cases. [Pg.372]

Selected kinetic information was used to analyze the reactor performance in a monolith. The temperature and velocity distributions in a monolith geometry leads to non uniform conversion profiles. The present model results can be used to tailor the metal loading as a function of radial coordinate to improve the conversion non-uniformities and the precious... [Pg.458]

A well-defined bed of particles does not exist in the fast-fluidization regime. Instead, the particles are distributed more or less uniformly throughout the reactor. The two-phase model does not apply. Typically, the cracking reactor is described with a pseudohomogeneous, axial dispersion model. The maximum contact time in such a reactor is quite limited because of the low catalyst densities and high gas velocities that prevail in a fast-fluidized or transport-line reactor. Thus, the reaction must be fast, or low conversions must be acceptable. Also, the catalyst must be quite robust to minimize particle attrition. [Pg.417]

Conversely, in a membrane model, acetylcholine showed mean log P values very similar to those exhibited in water. This was due to the compound remaining in the vicinity of the polar phospholipid heads, but the disappearance of extended forms decreased the average log P value somewhat. This suggests that an anisotropic environment can heavily modify the conformational profile of a solute, thus selecting the conformational clusters more suitable for optimal interactions. In other words, isotropic media select the conformers, whereas anisotropic media select the conformational clusters. The difference in conformational behavior in isotropic versus anisotropic environments can be explained considering that the physicochemical effects induced by an isotropic medium are homogeneously uniform around the solute so that all conformers are equally influenced by them. In contrast, the physicochemical effects induced by an anisotropic medium are not homogeneously distributed and only some conformational clusters can adapt to them. [Pg.14]

The available models mostly refer to ideal reactors, STR, CSTR, continuous PFR. The extension of these models to real reactors should take into account the hydrodynamics of the vessel, expressed in terms of residence time distribution and mixing state. The deviation of the real behavior from the ideal reactors may strongly affect the performance of the process. Liquid bypass - which is likely to occur in fluidized beds or unevenly packed beds - and reactor dead zones - due to local clogging or non-uniform liquid distribution - may be responsible for the drastic reduction of the expected conversion. The reader may refer to chemical reactor engineering textbooks [51, 57] for additional details. [Pg.118]

The performance of a reactor for a gas-solid reaction (A(g) + bB(s) -> products) is to be analyzed based on the following model solids in BMF, uniform gas composition, and no overhead loss of solid as a result of entrainment. Calculate the fractional conversion of B (fB) based on the following information and assumptions T = 800 K, pA = 2 bar the particles are cylindrical with a radius of 0.5 mm from a batch-reactor study, the time for 100% conversion of 2-mm particles is 40 min at 600 K and pA = 1 bar. Compare results for /b assuming (a) gas-film (mass-transfer) control (b) surface-reaction control and (c) ash-layer diffusion control. The solid flow rate is 1000 kg min-1, and the solid holdup (WB) in the reactor is 20,000 kg. Assume also that the SCM is valid, and the surface reaction is first-order with respect to A. [Pg.560]

A batch of solids of uniform size is treated by gas in a uniform environment. Solid is converted to give a nonflaking product according to the shrinking-core model. Conversion is about for a reaction time of 1 h, conversion is complete in two hours. What mechanism is rate controlling ... [Pg.586]

Die Orcutt model is very simple, offering analytical solutions, and thus is a useful tool for a rough estimation of the effect of various parameters on the operation of fluidized beds (Grace, 1984). However, it should be used only for qualitative comparisons, since its predictions have often been inaccurate compared to the experimental values obtained. The sources of those failures are the predicted uniform concentration of gas in the dense phase, which is not the case in experiments, and the assumption of the absence of solids in the bubble phase, which results in underestimating the conversion in the case of fast reactions. [Pg.485]

A recent paper by Kiparissides, et al. (8) details a mathematical model for the continuous polymerization of vinyl acetate in a single CSTR. Operating conditions were shown to exist in which either steady-state operation or sustained conversion oscillations would occur for vinyl acetate. Experimental results for both cases were successfully simulated by their model. In addition, regulatory conversion control policies were considered in which both initiator feed rate and emulsifier feed rate were used as manipulated variables (Kiparissides (9)). The problem of conversion control in the operating region in which sustained conversion oscillations occur is one of significant commercial importance. Most commonly, however, a uniform concentration of emulsifier is required in the emulsion recipe and, hence, emulsifier flow rate cannot be used as a manipulated variable. [Pg.530]
