CALCULATION FOR PACKED FLOW REACTOR
A B + 2C
The packed‐bed reactor (PBR), a type of catalytic reactor operated at steady state,
can have a reaction rate described by
dFA/dw = rA FAo *dx/dw = ‐rA'
If the pressure drop and catalyst decay are neglected,
FAo
W = dFA/‐rA
FA1
where W is the catalyst weight needed to reduce the entering molar flow rate of A, FA0, to some FA1
The Design Equation For PBR can be rewritten as
FAo*dXA/dv = ‐rA
OR FAo *dx/dw = ‐rA'
X where
where
τ*W/V = CAo dXA/‐rA V is Catalyst Volume available for reaction
0 τ is Residence Time = V/vo
vo is Feed Volumetric Rate = FA0/CA0
Condition 2nd Order reaction
Rate Equn. rA = ‐k*CA^2
We get
ττ*(W/V)= (1/(k.C
(W/V) (1/(k.CAo))
))*(2*ε
(2 εA*(1+ ε
(1+ εA))*ln(1‐X
ln(1 XA) + εA^2*X
2 XA + (1+ εA))^2*X
2 XA/(1
/(1‐X
XA))
εA = (Total product moles ‐ Total reactant moles)/ Total Reactant moles
εA = 2
yAo = (Moles of A)/(Total moles of all Reactants)
yAo = 1
Cto = P

1.63E+02 mol/m³
CAo = yAo*Po/RuT°o
CAO = 1.63E+02 mol/m³
NAf = NA +NB +2*NC

CA is the concentration of the feed A
CA = CAo*(NA/(NAf) CA = 40.82 mol/m³
Thiele Modulus
Ф =(Rs/3)*(((n+1)/2)*((k*CA^(n‐1))/DA))^0.5 Ф = 1.01E‐03
The Thiele Modulus for Spherica partical is given by
Ф = (Rs/3) *((k*ρP)/DAeff)^0.5 Ф = 1.29E‐03
DAeff is Effective diffusivity of A in pallet
DA is molecular diffusivity in bulk steam
Effectiveness Factor
η = (1/Ф)*(1/TANH(3*Ф)‐1/3/Ф) η = 1.00 OK
1.00
Since Effective Factor η = 1.0 , we will use
For Constant Volume System
τ*(W/V)= (1/(k.CAo))*(2*εA*(1+ εA)*ln(1‐XA) + εA^2*XA + (1+ εA)^2*XA/(1‐XA))
where
W/V (1 ЄB)*ρ
W/V = (1 ‐ Є )* p /Є
/ЄB
τ*(1‐ЄB)*ρP/ЄB = (1/(k.CAo))*(2*εA*(1+ εA)*ln(1‐XA) + εA^2*XA + (1+ εA)^2*XA/(1‐XA))
τ*(1‐ЄB)*ρP/ЄB = 51424.3
