REACTOR DESIGN
-
WHAT IS REACTOR? Chemical reactors are vessels that are designed for a chemical reaction to occur inside of them
-
Types of VesselsTank reactor A tank that is usually enclosed to keep contaminants out of the reaction vessel, or envelope Tubular reactor A pipe or tube

MODE OF OPERATION BATCH 1.HANDLE SMALL QUANTITIES
2. LARGE RESIDENCE TIMECONTINUOUS1.HANDLE LARGE QUANTITIES
2.SHORT RESIDENCE TIME
-
PHASES IN CONTACT GAS-LIQUID FOR THIS PURPOSE REACTORS USED ARE 1.BATCH STIRRED TANK REACTOR 2. CSTR 3. TUBULAR REACTOR

CALCULATION OF PARAMETERS
-
Molar flow rate
molar. Flow rate = mass. Flow rate / mol.wtSoMolar flow rate of Ethylene = 229973.6 mol / hr Molar flow rate of catalyst = 4.635 mol / hr
-
Volumetric flow rate :
Vol. flow rate= mass flow rate / Density SoVolumetric flow rate of Ethylene 72189.01 dm3/ hrVolumetric flow rate of Catalyst 0.668421 dm3/ hr
-
Initial Concentration:
CAo=molar flow rate/Vol. Flow rate
Initial Concentration of Ethylene 3.1857mol/dm3Initial Concentration of Catalyst 6.934 mol/dm3
-
Concentration at given Conversion:CA=CAO(1-XA) As given conversion is 98% SoConcentration of Ethylene=0.026218mol/dm3Concentration of Catalyst=0.0571 mol/dm3
-
Rate of reaction: Rate Equation
By putting the values we get - rp=0.002874mol/dm3min
-
Residence Time: As for CSTR
So, =192.6 min =3.214 hrs
-
Reactor Volume: V= *VFRSoV=232.0426m3 There are two reactors in series and the ratio of their residence time is given in literature.2.09 So, Reactor Volume of the 1st reactor=157.56m3 Reactor Volume of the 2nd reactor=74.49m3
-
CHAIN LENGTH: AsL=M(Lo/Mo)SoL=5.46*10-6 m
-
CHAIN DIAMETRE As D=(4/(Lo/Mo)-1*(*6.02*10-26)-1)So D=5.5*10-6m
