The elementary reaction
is carried out in a PBR where the coolant temperature varies along the length of the reactor.
We want to determine both the conversion and temperature profiles
Write a Polymath program to plot X, T, and Ta vs. W.
Mole Balance
Rate Law
Stoichiometry
Energy Balance:
Energy Balance on the Coolant:
Why do you think the conversion and temperature curves become flat after a catalyst weight of 1200 kg?
This Polymath program can be loaded directly from the CD under the Chapter 8 Living Example Problems under the name "Lecture 15/16 Variable Coolant Temperature."
Use this when working with the Living Example Problem.
