Question:
In the process to produce acetone from isopropyl alcohol (see process description on the CD), heat is supplied to the endothermic reaction using a Dowtherm A (or molten salt) loop and a fired heater. During the start-up of a new plant, it is found that the activity of the kº) in the kinetics expression) is less than designed. How would you adjust the flow of heat transfer fluid (up or down) to compensate for this error? Explain your reasoning.
