Heat Balance for reactor

Feed temperature = 85oC Outlet temperature = 120oC Cp data at average feed temperature 42.5oC Component Ethylene Oxide Ammonia Water Monoethanolamine Dimethylethanolamine Triethanolamine Cp (kJ/kmol.K) 91.5436 84.1023 76.4142 215.236 238.656 396.045

Heat liberated: Hr= 125 kJ/mol of ethylene oxide Moles of ethylene oxide reacted = 491.74 kmol/hr

Heat input + Heat generated = heat output + heat removed [Mf x (xi x Cpi) x T] +[Hr x moles of EO] =[ Mo x (xi x Cpi) x T] +Q Where Mf =Inlet molar flow Xi =mol fraction for component i Cpi = specific heat capacity for component i T = temperature difference between inlet and outlet Hr = heat liberated by the reaction Mo = outlet molar flow Q = heat that required to be removed to maintain reactor temperature

(xi x Cpi) (input) = 84.66 kJ/kmol.K (xi x Cpi) (output) = 101.89 kJ/kmol.K Mf = 3196.31 kmol/hr Mo= 2706.86 kmol/hr T = 120-85 = 35 K

Mf x (xi x Cpi) x T = 3196.31 (kmol/hr) x 84.66( kJ/kmol.K) x (35K) x 1/3600 = 2630.83 kJ/s Mo x (xi x Cpi) x T = 2706.86 (kmol/hr) x 101.89 (kJ/kmol.K) x (35K) x 1/3600 =2681.41 kJ/s Hr x moles of EO = 125 (kJ/mol) x 491.74( mol/hr) x 1/3600 = 1707.5 kJ/s

Q = 2630.83kJ/s + 2681.41 kJ/s 1707.5 kJ/s = 1656.92 kJ/s
