Heat Exchange 8 Example: Elementary liquid phase reaction carried out in a PFR F A0 F I TaTa Heat Exchange Fluid The feed consists of both inerts I and Species A with the ratio of inerts to the species A being 2 to 1.

Heat Exchange 9 a)Adiabatic. Plot X, X e, T and the rate of disappearance as a function of V up to V = 40 dm 3. b)Constant T a. Plot X, X e, T, T a and rate of disappearance of A when there is a heat loss to the coolant and the coolant temperature is constant at 300 K for V = 40 dm 3. How do these curves differ from the adiabatic case.

Heat Exchange 10 c)Variable T a Co-Current. Plot X, X e, T, T a and rate of disappearance of A when there is a heat loss to the coolant and the coolant temperature varies along the length of the reactor for V = 40 dm 3. The coolant enters at 300 K. How do these curves differ from those in the adiabatic case and part (a) and (b)? d)Variable T a Countercurrent. Plot X, X e, T, T a and rate of disappearance of A when there is a heat loss to the coolant and the coolant temperature varies along the length of the reactor for V = 20 dm 3. The coolant enters at 300 K. How do these curves differ from those in the adiabatic case and part (a) and (b)?

Effects of Inerts in the Feed 33
34
Endothermic 34 As inert flow increases the conversion will increase. However as inerts increase, reactant concentration decreases, slowing down the reaction. Therefore there is an optimal inert flow rate to maximize X. First Order Irreversible
35
Adiabatic: 35 As T 0 decreases the conversion X will increase, however the reaction will progress slower to equilibrium conversion and may not make it in the volume of reactor that you have. Therefore, for exothermic reactions there is an optimum inlet temperature, where X reaches X eq right at the end of V. However, for endothermic reactions there is no temperature maximum and the X will continue to increase as T increases. X T XeXe T0T0 X T X T Gas Phase Heat Effects
