CHAPTER 2 - Theoretical Models of Chemical Processes Assignment 2

(1) The document describes two modeling assignments involving chemical processes. The first involves developing a model of a two-tank system to determine water levels and flows over time. The second involves deriving a dynamic model of an irreversible consecutive reaction occurring in a jacketed, stirred-tank reactor. (2) The model must account for well-mixed contents, constant reaction rates, significant thermal capacities, and constant properties and heat transfer coefficients. (3) The model aims to describe variations in concentrations, flows, and temperatures over time based on feed conditions and coolant flows.

CHAPTER 2 Theoretical Models of Chemical Processes


Assignment 2

A.2.1 Two tanks are connected together in the following way shown below.
(a) Develop a model for this system that can be used to find h1, h2, w2, and w3 as functions of time
for any given variations in inputs.
(b) Perform a degrees of freedom analysis. Identify all input and output variables.

A.2.2 Irreversible consecutive reactions

A B C

occur in a jacketed, stirred-tank

reactor as shown below. Derive a dynamic model based on the following assumptions:
(i) The contents of the tank and cooling jacket are well mixed. The volumes of material in
the jacket and in the tank do not vary time.
(ii) The reaction rates are given by:

r 1=k 1 e

E 1
RT

r 2=k 2 e
(iii)

E 2
RT

C A [ ] molA /hL
C B [ ] molB/hL

The thermal capacities of the tank contents and the jacket contents are significant
relative to the thermal capacitances of the jacket and tank and tank walls, which can be

neglected.
(iv)Constant physical properties and heat transfer coefficients can be assumed.
Moreover, all flowrates and concentrations have units of L/h and mol/L, respectively. The heat of
reactions are H 1 and H 2 .
