Question
7..I have a reactor with an input of methanol and an input of a catalyst at 600 C, my outputs are propylene and butylene. I want to adjust my methanol feed temperature so that I can have an isothermal reaction happening at 400C. I am allowed to adjust the reactor temperature up to 20%wt of the feed. How would I set up my energy balance to solve for the feed temperature? Using the enthalpies?

- Could it please be hand writtenarrow_forwardYou are designing a reactor for a process that has the following decomposition reaction: A →D + 2F The rate law for this reaction is unknown and must be determined by an experiment. Since the reaction takes place in the liquid phase, you choose to build a CSTR reactor. You allow the reactor to fill to a certain volume, V, and then adjust the inlet and outlet volumetric flow rates to equal values, vo, to allow the system to reach steady state. Once the system is at steady state you measure the outlet concentration, CA. The residence time (t = V/v.) is increased by turning off the outlet flow, which allows the volume to increase, then setting the outlet flow to its original value and waiting until steady state is reached. You measure the concentration again and repeat this procedure multiple times to obtain the following table.

- For the gas-phase reaction A = 2B operated at 1.0 bar: Initially, the reactor contains only A, at 1.0 mol. a. Prove that the reaction coordinate (moles of A consumed) equals the following: (see attactched image) b. Make a plot of the reaction coordinate versus temperature between 200 and 400 K for exothermic reaction conditions, making use of the van’t Hoff Equation. Data: Ka = 5.0 at 298 K, ΔHrxn0 = -50.0 kJ mol-1. Neglect the ΔCp term. c. Repeat Part b for endothermic conditions. Ka = 5.0 at 298 K, ΔHrxn0 = +50.0 kJ mol-1. Neglect the ΔCp term. d. If the reaction described in part b (i.e., exothermic conditions) were operated in a simple batch reactor, would the reaction mixture’s temperature increase, decrease, or remain constant as the reaction progressed? To maximize conversion, would you recommend that heat be added to, or removed from, the reactor?arrow_forwardillustrates an endothermic reactor applied in the production of methanol.
