Calculate lnk1 lnk2 lnK1 lnK2 K1 K2 formula

Ethanol is to be produced from ethylene and water using commercial catalyst (=0.8g/cm3) in a packed bed flow reactor (PFR). The reaction is reversible as follows: C2H4+H2OC2H5OH(A)+(B)(R) The reactor operates at 70 atm pressure. The following rate expression for this reaction was obtained by the analysis of kinetic data taken in laboratory: r=(1+K1PA+K2PB)kK12(PAPBPR/K2);gmol/gcat.hr where, PA,PB and PR are partial pressures of A,B and R (in atm), respectively. Values of k,K1 and K2 are given in the table below. RTlnK2=28.6T9740 The feed gas composition is 40% ethylene and 60%H2O with 104gmol/hr of total flow rate. You are asked to submit a complete preliminary reactor system design in this project. Teams will prepare a final project report as complete as possible including a detailed description of your recommended process and specification of the reactor system. Feed conditions are given below. In the project work, the following tasks should be performed in the preparation of final process design: (a) Carry out a literature survey for ethanol production. (b) Search for the catalysts used in ethanol production. (c) Collect data for the thermodynamics of the system (Tc(K),Pc (bar), G0f298(kJ/kmol), H0f298(kJ/kmol),Cp(kJ/kmolK) etc. ) (d) Plot equilibrium conversion as a function of temperature (XAcT graph). (e) Draw the constant reaction rate curves on the same diagram. (f) It is desired to reach 35% conversion in the reactor system to be designed. Make a decision about the exit temperature from the system (Bed void fraction is 0.4 )
