CSTR with Heat Effects Energy Balance for CSTRs Equation (8-9) (page 476)
(page 593)
At Steady State Solving for X Solving for T
Mole Balance Rate Law Stoichiometry Combine
Heat Effects Isothermal Design Stoichiometry Rate Laws Mole Balance
Isothermal Design Heat Effects Rate Laws Stoichiometry Mole Balance
Safety in Chemical Reactors
Then rearranging Equation (9-8)
Complete conversion FA = 0 Batch Reactors with Heat Effects Single Reactions Multiple Reactions Risk Rupture
Reactor Mole Balance Summary
Keeping MBAs Away From Chemical Reactors The process worked for 19 years before they showed up!! Why did they come???? What did they want????
Nitroaniline Synthesis Reaction NO2 NH2 Cl + 2NH3 + NH4Cl ONCB + Ammonia Nitroanaline + Ammonium Chloride
