could you help me design a reactor? it is a continuous hydrogenation reaction. please include catalyst particle size reactor selection justification ( I am thinking
could you help me design a reactor? it is a continuous hydrogenation reaction.
please include catalyst particle size
reactor selection justification ( I am thinking fixed -bed catalytic reactor but feel free to select the approprate one)
reaction kinetics ( it would be helpfull if you can include data reference in case I decide to change any operations condition
rate law and new rate
selectivity is given
weigh of catalyst with detailed calculation and methods
step by step design equation
catalyst and reactor volume and dimension
pressure drop and its importance
space time
material of construction for different parts
I am design the reactor from the scratch from this source ""Improved processing stability in the hydrogenation of dimethyl maleate to -butyrolactone, 1,4-butanediol and tetrahydrofuran'' type it on google it will come up, but instead of dimethyl maleate the reaction starts from dimethyl succinate DMS) any thermal data or correlations might help as well. I have done the mass balance I guess the concentration, rate constant, -r could be calculated. (Coulson Richardson's V6 and levenspiel Chemical engineering books might help) Please! help!
