Chapter 6

6.1 T he energy balance


6.2 Algorithms for non-isothermal reaction design
6.3 Equilibrium conversion
6.4 Multiple steady-state

Objectives
Upon the completion of this chapter, students are able to:
o Describe the algorithm for CSTRs that are not
operated isothermally.
o Size adiabatic and non adiabatic CSTRs.
o Analyze NON-ISOTHERMAL REVERSIBLE reactions
o Carry out an analysis to determine the Multiple Steady
States (MSS) in a CSTR

6.1 The Energy Balance

WHY WE NEED TO LEARN ENERGY BALANCE IN REACTION


ENGINEERING?

1. At times we need to calculate the volume necessary


to achieve a conversion, X in a reactor.
2. For an exothermic reaction, the temperature profile
vs. volume is given below
Reaction Temperature

6.1 The Energy Balance

Lets say we have a CSTR and given a first order, exothermic


liquid reaction carried out adiabatically (no heat loss or gained in
the system).
1.Design equation for CSTR
VCSTR =

FA0 X
rA

2. Rate Law (First Order Reaction)


rA = kC A
3.Because there is change of temperature during reaction therefore
( Ea " 1 1 %+
k = k1 exp * $$ ''*) R # T1 T &-,
4.Stochiometry for liquid phase gives
C A = C A0 (1 X )

6.1 The Energy Balance


4. We combine equation 1, 2,3 and 4 to obtain
1st
Unknown

VCSTR =

FA0 X
( E " 1 1 %+
k1exp * a $$ ''- C A0 (1 X)
*) R # T1 T &-,
2nd

3rd
Unknown

In this equation, we have 3 unknowns (Volume, Temperature


and Conversion) which need to be solved.
Therefore we need another relationship relating X and T or T
and V.
This additional relationship can be found through energy
balance equation

EXAMPLE
Calculate Ho Rx (TR) when given the reaction as following:

SOLUTION:
For the above reaction, the Ho Rx (TR) is as following:

H Rxo (TR ) = ( 2H ONH 3(TR ) 3H OH 2(TR ) H ON 2(TR ) )


From reference, it is found that the heat of formation of hydrogen,
(Ho H2,(TR)) and nitrogen (Ho N2,(TR)) are zero at 25oC, and Ho NH3 (TR)
= 11,020 cal/mol therefore

Substitute in the equation, 2500(53.0)(T 75) (2500)(0.10)[36,400 + (7)(T 68)] = 0

9. From the logarithm, we have solved T value.
10. Therefore next is to find the new k value when
reaction temperature, T is 144.9 oF. Given from the
question that

k = Ae-Ea/RT = 16.96x1012(e-32,400Btu/lb mol/RT)/hr


12

32,400 Btu/lb mol


RT

12

(1.987Btu/lb mol. o R)(144.9+459.69 o R)

k = 16.96 10 e

32,400 Btu/lb mol

= 16.96 10 e
= 32.84 / hr

SOLUTION
11.Next we obtain the volume of the CSTR, V.
12.To find the initial concentration of A, we know FA0 = 2500 lb
mol/hr and the initial volumetric flowrate, as given in question
as 46.62 ft3/hr of A and 233.1 ft3/hr of B. Therefore 0,TOTAL =
46.62 + 233.1 ft3/hr = 279.72 ft3/hr

6.3 Equilibrium Conversion

51

QUESTION: What Happen if its NON-ISOTHERMAL REVERSIBLE


reactions?
1. The highest conversion c an be achieved in reversible reactions is
the equilibrium conversion.
2. For endothermic (need heat) reactions, the equilibrium conversion
increases with increasing temperature up to a maximum of 1.0.
3. For exothermic (release heat) reactions, the equilibrium
conversion decreases with increasing temperature.
