KRD Applications (Fuel Cells)
A + 2B C + D
1.Decomposition
2.Combination
3.Isomerization
A + 2B C + D
Example: A B
If B is being created at 0.2 moles /dm3/s
System variables
spatially uniform
This is modeling
Spatial variation makes
things more complex
Assumptions
Well mixed
• Well mixed
• Temp and concentration same
at exist and outlet
• Steady State (Time derivative zero)

Implication of differential
and integral form
A. Gj = V * rj
B. dNj/dt = 0
C. Fjo = Fj = 0
D. E=mc2
CA = NA / V
FA = CA v
PV = NRT
V = 200-dm3
P = 20 atm c. If the reaction is second order:
T = 227 oC
calculate the time to consume 80% of A. Also calculate the
pressure in the reactor at this time if the temperature is 127 oC
