Chapter 2: Conversion and Reactor Sizing
Objective
After completing Chapter 2 of the text and associated website material, the reader will be able to:
- Define conversion and space time.
- Write the mole balances in terms of conversion for a batch reactor, CSTR, PFR, and PBR.
- Determine reactor sizes (volume, catalyst weight) for reactors either alone or in series once given the molar flow rate of A and the rate of reaction, -rA, as a function of conversion, X.
