Department of Chemical Engineering, VNIT Nagpur Odd Semester 2019-2020 Sessional - Il (5" Semester B.Tech. Chemical Engineering) Course: CML 324 Chemical Reaction Engineering-Il Date: 10/09/2019 Max. Marks: 15 Duration: 41 hr ‘Assume suitable data whenever necessary. Answers without formulae and intermediate steps will not carry any marks. Write justification/expianation for the answer whenever require. Write all steps. Use standard nomenclature. Answer sub questions together at one place, if not, none of the answers will be evaluated. 1. A single catalytic packed bed reactor is to be designed to treat 100 moles /sec of reactant A and produce product R. Feed gas enters at 2.49 MPa and 300 K, the maximum allowable temperature is 900 K unless otherwise noted, the product stream is wanted at 300 K, Determine the feed temperature entering the reactor and heat duty for cooling/heating of feed and also for product for 80% conversion of a feed consisting of 1 mol A and 7 mol inert. C, = 40 J/mol K for all materials and at all temperatures. -AH, = 80000 J. BI effective The I" order heterogeneous catalytic reaction is taking place in bubbling fluidized bed rate constant = 0.8 m*/m? cat.s, volumetric flowrate of reactant gas = | m’/s, weight of catalyst = 7000 kg, density of catalyst = 2000 kg/m?. Determine the conversion for fixed bed. 21 3. In the absence of pore diffusion resistance a particular first-order gas phase reaction proceeds as reported as: - ra” = 10° mol/emPcat s at C, = 10 mol/cm’, at 1 atm and 400°C, What size of spherical catalyst pellets (De = 107 cm*/ cm cat s) would ensure that pore resistance effects do not intrude to slow the rate of reaction? 1 4. A gas having 50% A and 50% inerts with Cay = 2 mol/m? is fed (1 m’/hr) to a plug flow reactor with very large recycle having 0.02 m? loop volume and 3 kg of catalyst, and the output composition from the reactor system is measured (0.5 mol A/m*), Find the rate equation for the first order decomposition of A as per reaction: A -> 3R. (21 5. The first-order decomposition of A as A> R is run in an experimental d, W Cy uv Xq mixed flow reactor. Find the role played by pore diffusion in these 7754p gp tuns; in effect determine whether the runs were made under diffusion- 7 6 499 5 06 free, strong resistance, or intermediate conditions. 21 6. Discuss the methodology with proper equations & figures for the design of single adiabatic catalytic packed bed reactor based on operating line, type of reactor (Plug / Mixed / Recycle) and weight of the catalyst. 1s] 7. Explain Kunni - Levenspiel’model for bubbling fluidized bed reactor for 1" order reaction (with the help of block diagrams showing all resistances and final expression for conversion in terms of all resistances). (1.5) Explain suitable mechanism for heterogeneous catalytic reaction. [0.5] A solid catalyzed first-order reaction, «= 0, takes place with 50% conversion in a basket type mixed reactor. What will be the conversion if the reactor size is trebled and all else-temperature, amount of catalyst, feed composition, and flow rate-remains unchanged? 0.31
