  1. Lecture 8 Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) is the field that studies the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions and the design of the reactors in which they take place.

  2. Today’slecture • Block 1: Mole Balances on PFRs and PBR • Must Use the Differential Form • Block 2: Rate Laws • Block 3: Stoichiometry • Pressure Drop: Liquid Phase Reactions: Pressure Drop does not affect the concentrations in liquid phase rx. Gas Phase Reactions: Epsilon not Equal to Zero d(P)/d(W)=.. Polymath will combine with d(X)/f(W)=..for you Epsilon = 0 and Isothermal P=f(W) Combine then Separate Variables (X,W) and Integrate

  5. Pressure Drop in Packed Bed Reactors Note: Pressure dropdoes NOT affectliquidphasereactions MoleBalance: SampleQuestion: Analyze the following second order gas phasereaction that occursisothermally in a PBR: AB Must use the differential form of the molebalance to separate variables: Rate Law: Second order in A and irreversible:

  6. Pressure Drop in Packed Bed Reactors Stoichiometry: Isothermal, T=T0 Combine: Need to find (P/P0) as a function of W (or V if you have a PFR)

For the special case of isothermal operation and epsilon = 0, we can obtain an analytical solution. Polymathwillcombine the molebalance, rate law and stoichiometry.
