Chapter 18: Models for Nonideal Reactors
Self Test 18.2: Other Scheme For Evaluation
The following (1-F) curve was obtained for a real rector.
It is desired to model the real reactor as a combination of two ideal reactors with parameters υ01=bυ0 and V1=aV where V is the total reactor volume υ,dm3,andυ0 the volumetric flow rate in dm3/s. Determine the model and the model parameters a and b.
(e) A CSTR and a PFR in Series
(f) A CSTR and a PFR in Parallel
Solution
First let's convert the (1-F) curve to an F curve
At t = t1 and t = t2 we see he slope
is infinite, i.e. E(t)
= 
which suggests two PFRs in parallel
Solving
