RationaleRationale All reactions always accompanied by heat effect:
exothermic reactions vs. endothermic reactions Unless heat transfer system is carefully
designed, reaction mass temperature tend to change
Design of heat transfer system itself requires the understanding of this heat effect
Energy balance is also needed, together with performance equations derived from mass balance
ObjectivesObjectives Describe the algorithm for CSTRs, PFRs, and PBRs that
are not operated isothermally. Size adiabatic and nonadiabatic CSTRs, PFRs, and
PBRs. Use reactor staging to obtain high conversions for highly
exothermic reversible reactions. Carry out an analysis to determine the Multiple Steady
States (MSS) in a CSTR along with the ignition and extinction temperatures.
Analyze multiple reactions carried out in CSTRs, PFRs, and PBRs which are not operated isothermally in order to determine the concentrations and temperature as a function of position (PFR/PBR) and operating variables
