A product P is produced in a semicontinuous,
well stirred, polytropic reactor, by the reaction
A + B → P. The reactor is
initially loaded with an aqueous solution of A, with volume
(V0) 300 L, at a concentration
CA0 = 1 M and temperature
T0 = 313 K; an aqueous solution of B
is continuously fed with concentration
CB0 = 1 M, flow
Qe0 = 5 L/min and temperature
Te = 298 K. There is no outflow.
The specific heat of the mixture is near the one for water,
cp = 4.18 kJ/L-K. The cooler (…)
has an area of A = 0.6283 m² with water at
(Text) 298 K with (…) a very high flow.
The overall heat transfer coefficient between the reaction mixture and cooling
water is U = 30 kJ/m²-min-K. The reactor walls are
insulated. (See remaining parameters above.)
The evolution of A and B, and T
or conversion of A are calculated vs. time. (A numerical,
Runge-Kutta method is used.)
Suggestions Vary several system parameters. |
