P12-9 Algorithm for reaction in a PBR with heat effects
and pressure drop
The elementary gas-phase reaction
A + B 2C
in Problem P11-8 is now continued and carried out in
packed-bed reactor. The entering molar flow rates are F =
5 mol/s, F =2F , and F =2F with C =0.2
mol/dm . The entering temperature is 325 K and a coolant
fluid is available at 300 K.
Additional information:
CPA = CPB = CPC =20 cal/mol/K k =0.0002 @300K
CPA =18 cal/mol/K \alpha =0.00015 kg1 Ua =320
E =25 m C =18 mol/s \rho b =1400
\Delta HRx =20 @298 K CPCool =18 cal/mol(coolant)
KC =1000@305K
Plot X, X , T, T , and r down the length of the PFR
for the following cases:
(a) Co-current heat exchange
(b) Countercurrent heat exchange
(c) Constant heat-exchanger temperature T
(d) Compare and contrast your results for (a),(b), and
(c) along with those for adiabatic operation and write a
paragraph describing what you find.
