Chapter 18: Models for Nonideal Reactors
Additional Homework Problems
CDP18-GC
The following data were obtained from a step tracer input to a reactor:
- Develop a model that is consistent with the experimental data.
- Evaluate all the model parameters (Vr1 = 0.26Vtot, Fr1 = 0.37Ftot)
For the second order reaction
2A B + C
with kCA0 = 0.1 min-1, a reactor volume of 1 m3, and a volumetric flow rate of 0.06 m3/min, determine the conversion of A:
- Using the model developed in part (a). (Ans: X = 0.62)
- Using the segregation model.
- Using the maximum mixedness model.
- Using the dispersion model.
- Using the tanks-in-series model
- Using both an ideal PFR and ideal CSTR
