“Control-volume (Δx.Δ.yΔz)”
Applications:
Reacting systems (CSTR, Batch reactors) Applications:
• Reacting systems (PFR)
• Mass transport (diffusion)
• Fluid dynamics (momentum transport)
Mass and energy balance of • Energy transport (heat transfer)
lumped systems forms set of
ODEs
Mass and energy balance of
distributed systems forms set
of PDEs
or
“The states (T, P, concentration) in lumped parameter systems are concentrated
in single point and are not spatially distributed”
Assumptions:
(Dirichlet BC)
(Neumann BC)
Note: Dirichlet BCs assume the solution to the variable. In Neumann BCs, a solution is assumed for the derivative of the variable.
Assumption 1: The convective term is much larger than diffusive term (since no catalyst bed)
(RA= -kCA )
Assumption 2: The convective term is negligible compared to diffusive term (for a catalytic bed)
Total “energy flux” is the sum of heat flux and bulk flux,
Input
output
Assumptions:
1. Steady state condition
2. No convective heat flow
2. If the radius of the rod is very small compared to rod length so
the radial temperature gradient is neglected
BC 1: at z=0, T = TH
BC 2: at z= L, dT/dz = 0
or at z=L, T= Ta
