After completing Chapter 2 of the text and associated DVD material the reader will be able to:
Define conversion and space time.
Write the mole balances in terms of conversion for a batch reactor, CSTR, PFR, and PBR.
Determine reactor sizes (volume, catalyst weight) for reactors either alone or in series once given the molar flow rate of A, and the rate of reaction, -
rA, as a function of conversion, X.
