    Calculate Heat-Cool Time - Batch Reactor

    Uploaded by

    Gargiulo Anita
    The document discusses methods for calculating the time required to heat or cool a liquid inside a batch reactor. It provides equations to calculate the heating time using either a liquid or steam jacket utility. For liquid jacket utility, the time is based on the jacket liquid inlet temperature and flowrate, as well as the heat capacity and initial/final temperatures of the reactor contents. For steam jacket utility, the time is based on isothermal condensation of steam in the jacket at the specified inlet pressure. Input data fields are provided for parameters like heat capacities, temperatures, mass, and heat transfer coefficients.

    The time to heat or cool a fixed mass of liquid inside a batch reactor is calculated.
    The primary simplification here is that both the utility and process heat capacity as well as the overall heat transfer coefficient
    are assumed constant throughout.
    Liquid Jacket Utility: The jacket is a 'one pass' with a fixed flowrate of liquid at inlet temperature T1.
    A closed form solution has been developed and is shown at the bottom of the page.
    Steam Jacket Utility: With steam at specified inlet pressure (assumed to be saturated) the time to heat is based
    on isothermal condensation in the jacket with as much steam passing through the trap as heat transfer will allow.
    Simple closed form solution below.

    EQUATIONS (Liquid in Jacket)
    Heat input to reactor at T = Heat loss by utility liquid with inlet temperature T1 (specified) and outlet temperature T2
    (unknown)
    Solving for the unknown jacket outlet temperature T2
