Chapter 6 Example D

Gas Phase Multiple Reactions in a Membrane Reactor with Pressure Drop

Case 1 Large sweep gas velocities CCsg = 0

Open the Polymath file for Case 1 by clicking here

Case 2A Moderate to Low Sweep Gas Velocity CCsg = FCsg/

Open the Polymath file for Case 2 by clicking here

Entering sweep gas molar flow rate:

Entering sweep gas volumetric flow rate:

Case 2B Low Sweep Gas Velocity and No Pressure Drop

We see that when there is no pressure drop CC is always grater than CCsg and species C does not diffuse back into the reactor.
