Chapter 12: Steady-State Nonisothermal Reactor Design: Flow Reactors with Heat Exchange
PBR with heat exchange
The elementary reaction
is carried out in a PBR with constant coolant temperature, TC
We want to determine both the conversion and temperature profiles
Write a Polymath program to plot X and T vs. W.
Solution
Mole Balance
Rate Law
Stoichiometry
Combine
Energy Balance:
A variation of this program can be found on the CD under the Chapter 8 Living Example Problems under the name "Lecture 15/16 Variable Coolant Temperature." However, to work the above example, you will need to set the coolant rate at
=100g/s.
Use this 
when working with the Living Example Problem.
