 LPTC

3003

OBJECTIVES: To teach the students to
• Perform material balances to derive general reactor design equations
• Use the appropriate reaction kinetics in the reactor design equations
• Know the modelling of chemical reactors.

UNIT I

9

Analysis of Noncatalytic fluid solid reaction: Kinetics of non-catalytic fluid-particle reactions, various models, application to design.

UNIT II

9

Catalyst preparation and characterization: Catalysis - Nature of catalyses, methods of evaluation of catalysis, factors affecting the choice of catalysts, promoters, inhibitors, and supports, catalyst specifications, preparation and characterization of catalysts, surface area measurement by BET method, pore size distribution, catalyst, poison, mechanism and kinetics of catalyst, deactivation.


UNIT III

9

Physical adsorption and chemical adsorption: Fluid-fluid reactions different regimes, identification reaction regime, application to design. Physical absorption with chemical reaction, simultaneous absorption of two reacting cases consecutive reversible reactions between gas and liquid, irreversible reactions, estimation of effective interfacial area in absorption equipment.

UNIT IV

9

Reaction kinetics, accounting porous nature of catalyst: Heterogeneous catalytic reactions - effectiveness factor, internal and external transport processes, non-isothermal reacting systems, uniqueness and multiplicity of steady states, stability analysis.

UNIT V

9

Modeling of chemical reactors: Modeling of multiphase reactors - Fixed, fluidized, trickle bed, and slurry reactors.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:
Students would be able to discern reaction kinetics by analyzing data from a variety of reactor types.
