    Solutions For Reactor Kinetics

    This document contains two chemistry assignment questions. 1) The first question asks to find the conversion of reactant A flowing through a vessel where it undergoes a zero-order reaction. The mean conversion is calculated to be 5.0%. 2) The second question provides a rate law and asks to suggest a mechanism consistent with it. The suggested mechanism involves Eley-Rideal kinetics where ethylene E adsorbs on the catalyst surface and reacts with gas phase hydrogen. The rate-limiting step is the reaction of adsorbed ethylene with hydrogen.

    QUESTION 1 (25 marks)
    A liquid macrofluid reacts according to R A as it flows through a vessel. Find the conversion
    of A for the following flow pattern and kinetics.



    Solution
    (a) Using the segregation model, dt t E t X X

    For a batch reactor we have

    0 A

    From the reaction kinetics, we have
    zero order reaction, min mol/lit 3 =
    A
    r and mol/lit 6

    Solving for X(t), we have

    2min for t 1, X
    min 2 for , 5 . 0 5 . 0 ) (

    s = = t t X t t X

    From the flow pattern (a), we have
