Unit IV
NON-ISOTHERMAL REACTORS 9
Heats of reaction and equilibrium conversion from thermodynamics, Non-isothermal homogeneous reactor systems, adiabatic reactors, Material and energy balances in batch reactors, Material and energy balances in plug flow and mixed flow reactors.
Unit V
NON-IDEAL REACTORS 9
Residence time distribution as a factor of performance; residence time functions and relationship between them in reactors; basic models for non-ideal flow-single parameter model, conversion in non-ideal reactors.
Course Outcomes:
On completion of the course, the students would be able to
- Apply the principles of reaction kinetics, formulate rate equations and analyze the batch reactor data.
- Analyze the experimental kinetic data to select a suitable reactor for a particular application and to workout conversion and space time for different types of reactors.
- Evaluate selectivity, reactivity and yield for parallel and mixed reactions.
- Design isothermal and non-isothermal reactors for homogeneous reactions.
- Examine how far real reactors deviate from the ideal reactors.
- Solve the complex reaction engineering problems.
