Chapter 2: Conversion and Reactor Sizing

Self Test - What is More Efficient?

  1. Which system is most efficient for a intermediate conversion of (0.3)?
  2. Which system is most efficient for a intermediate conversion of (0.65)?
  3. Which system makes the best use of the reactor volume (i.e., least “wasted” volume)?

Solution











































Solution

  1. System B because it has least wasted volume area 1 >> area 2.
  2. System A, area 4 >> area 3.
  3. System B with intermediate conversion of 0.3.
