COURSE OBJECTIVES:
• To enable the students to gain knowledge on different types of chemical
reactors, the design of chemical reactors under isothermal and
non-isothermal conditions
UNIT I | 9 |
---|
Rate equation, elementary, non-elementary reactions, theories of reaction
rate and Prediction; Design equation for constant and variable volume
batch reactors, analysis of experimental kinetics data, integral and
differential analysis.
UNIT II | 9 |
---|
Design of continuous reactors - stirred tank and tubular flow reactor,
recycle reactors, Equal sized CSTRs in series and parallel, Equal sized
PFRs in series and parallel,size comparison of reactors.
UNIT III | 9 |
---|
Design of reactors for multiple reactions - consecutive, parallel and
mixed reactions - factors affecting choice, optimum yield and conversion,
selectivity, reactivity and yield.
UNIT IV | 9 |
---|
Non-isothermal homogeneous reactor systems, adiabatic reactors, rates of
heat exchanges for different reactors, design for constant rate input and
constant heat transfer coefficient, operation of batch and continuous
reactors, optimum temperature progression.
UNIT V | 9 |
---|
The residence time distribution as a factor of performance; residence time
functions and relationship between them in reactor; basic models for
non-ideal flow; conversion in non-ideal reactors
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
COURSE OUTCOMES:
• At the end of this course, the students would gain knowledge on the
selection of reactor for the required reaction.
