CH353 Design and Simulation Lab

Experiment #5 (Batch II)

Aim: To understand reactor modules and simulation application to different


Chemical Engineering Problems
1. Using the conditions listed below and in the figure to prepare your simulation:
the reactor conditions are 70°C and 1 atm. The reaction taking place is:
Ethanol + Acetic Acid ↔ Ethyl Acetate + Water
Which has a first order with respect to each of the reactants in the reaction (second
order overall). The reaction rate is expressed with an Arrhenius type relation: k =
ko∙e-E/RT with a forward Reaction pre-exponential factor of 1.9 x 108, and activation
energy of 5.95 x 107 J/kmol. The reverse reaction has a pre-exponential factor of
5.0 x 107 and activation energy of 5.95 x 107 J/kmol. The reactions occur in the
liquid phase, and composition basis is Molarity. (Hint: Check that each reactor is
considering both Vapor and Liquid as Valid phases.) Setup a simulation as shown
in the flowsheet below.

2. Ethyl acetate is produced in an esterification reaction between acetic acid and


ethyl alcohol.
Acetic acid + Ethyl Alcohol ↔ Ethyl Acetate + water
The feed mixture, consisting 52.5 mole% Acetic acid, 45 mole% Ethyl alcohol and
2.5 mole% water, enters the RCSTR model with the flow rate 400 kmol/h at 75°C
and 1.1 atm. the reactor operate at 70°C and 1 atm. both the reaction are first order
with respect to each of reactant (i.e ,overall 2nd order). For these liquid-phase
reaction, the kinetic data for Arrhenius law are given below.
Forward reaction: Backward reaction:
K=2E8 m3/kmolesec K=5E7 m3/kmole
E=6E7 J/kmole E=6 J/kmole
3. In the stoichiometric reactor
models, the fractional
conversion, X of Key reactant
A XA = (nA0 – nA)/nA0 and the
extent of reaction A, vAξ = moles A reacted are specified. Then,
using these stoichiometric equations, the models determine the
flow rates of all the species leaving the reactor. Use Peng Robinson
thermodynamic property method.

Reaction: C6H6 + Cl2 → C6H5Cl + HCl

4. Find the product composition by simulating


the Batch reactor as shown in the Figure. The
following reaction is taking place in the reactor
𝐶2 𝐻4 + 𝐶6 𝐻6 → 𝐶8 𝐻10

The rat of reaction is given as

𝑘𝐽
−71000
6
−𝑟𝐴 = 1.5 × 10 𝐶𝐸 𝐶𝐵 𝑒𝑥𝑝 ( 𝑘𝑚𝑜𝑙 )
𝑅𝑇

Initial temperature is 25°C and reaction temperature is 210°C.

5. Calculate the standard heat of reaction for CO + H2O → CH3OH and compare the
result obtained from standard heat of formation
6. Calculate the adiabatic reaction temperature for the reaction CO + H2O → CH3OH
under the following conditions. The feed consisting of CO and H2 in the
stoichiometric ratio.
7. Simulate the water gas shift reaction using reactor modules such as RSTOIC,
RGIBBS, AND REQUIL. Use Peng Robinson EOS with Boston Mathias property
method. The chemical reaction is given as
𝐶𝑂 + 𝐻2 𝑂 → 𝐻2 + 𝐶𝑂2

The feed and process conditions are given below:

(i) Steam to CO ratio 5:1


(ii) Reaction carried out at 360 ºC and 1bar.
(iii) Fractional conversion 0.92 of component CO
