Conversion and Molar Balances

Introduction to Conversion
• We choose the limiting reactant as a basis of calculation
• Relate to all other species
• Then we quantify “how far” does the reaction goes
aA+bB cC + dD
A+b/a ·B c/a ·C + d/a ·D
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
Definition of Conversion
• XA= Moles of A reacted / Moles of A fed
• By logic means… 0 <= XA <= 1
• Note that as X increases, the reaction converts more reactant of A to (a) given product(s)
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
Conversion Example
• 284.4 gmol of A is fed to a reactor. After 4 hours, the outlet stream contains 20.3 gmol of A… What is the conversion
– a) moles of A reacted b) moles of A fed
– Moles of a reacted = (284.4– 20.3)gmol = 264.4 gmol
– Moles fed (is given in the data) = 284.4 gmol
– XA= 264.4/284.4 = 0.9296 as fraction or 92.96%
XA= Moles of A reacted / Moles of A fed

Why Conversion?
• It help us to establish a “standard” – e.g. not speak of flows (there are many flows possible)– conversion is only between 0 and 1
• Its easier to get a 100% of reaction progress• Example:
– 100 gmol of A are fed and 70 gmol of A are transformed to products• 70% conversion is achieved
– 35.4 gmol of A are fed and 12.4 gmol of A are transformed to products• 35% conversion is achieved
– We could say that the first reaction is 2 times efficient as the second one, independent of the flows

Molar Balances of Reactors in terms of Conversion
• We’ve seen before how to change from Flowsto Concentration (by volume or volumetric flow rate)
• This time we use the definition of conversionto transform all the design equations to Equations in terms of Conversion!
• This is very useful
• Specially in one-reaction reactors
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
Batch Reactor & Conversion
XA= moles of A reacted / moles of A fed
NA= moles of A at the outlet (exit or final)
NA0 = moles of A at the inlet (initial)
Moles of A reacted = NA0-NA
Moles of A fed = NA0
XA= (NA0-NA)/NA0 or express it for NA (moles of A at any moment)
NA = NA0(1-XA)

• Now lets apply these concepts and equations to our existing Design Equations

Continuous Flow Reactors & Conversion
XA= moles of A per unit time reacted / moles of A per unit time fed
FA= moles of A at the outlet per unit time (exit or final)
FA0 = moles of A at the inlet per unit time (initial)
Moles of A reacted per unit time = FA0-FA
Moles of A fed per unit time = FA0
XA= (FA0-FA)/FA0 or express it for FA (moles of A per unit time, any moment)
FA = FA0(1-XA)

Problems
• Go to next Section: Reactor Sizing
• Here we will apply the equations we just got
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
Section 2
Reactor Sizing
Reactor Sizing
• It is normal to calculate the size needed for a certain reaction/process to achieve certain conversion XA
• The size is an important factor and it implies $
• The bigger the reactor gets, the higher the price
CSTR Sizing
• Sizing implies calculation of Volumes…
• Normally you calculate a volume– With this volume and the type of reactor you:
• Choose a Diameter
• Choose a Height/Length of the reactor
• In a CSTR, the Volume is represented in a graph by the “Rectangle”– The height is Fa0/-rA
– The base is the conversion XA
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
CSTR Sizing
• It is common that the student thinks the volume is the “shaded” area under the curve
• This is not the case
• A CSTR is an Algebraic calculation, it will never be an area under the curve
• A CSTR’s Volume is always the area of the rectangle– Height
– Base

CSTR Sizing
• Examples for different rates of reaction “shapes”
• The red-marked area is the “Volume” of that CSTR tank
• 80% Conversion in this case…
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
CSTR Sizing
• Note that the data of rate of reaction does not depends on the reactor!
• It can be used for all types of reactors!
• Even though you use one specific reactor
– It applies to any reactor!

CSTR Sizing
• B) Shade the Volume in the graph
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
CH2: Elements of Chemical Reaction EngineeringH. Scott Fogler (4th Edition)
PFR Sizing
• Sizing a PFR is a little bit more complex than CSTR due to the “Integral” concept
• This is NOT an algebraic calculation
• It is common that the student thinks the area under the curve is the volume
– He is RIGHT!
• The area under the curve of the rate of reaction will give you the volume
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
PFR Sizing
• Many rates of reaction get “under”
• The area is generally lower as a CSTR
• Take care, this is NOT always the case
– When not?
– We will see this case later on…

Comparing CSTR vs. PFR• If you’ve done the problems, you will see that when
we use CSTR or PFR the volumes change for the SAME reaction!
• This is due to the “Volume” calculation in our Design Equations
– CSTR Algebraic Concept (b·h)
– PFR Integral Concept (area under curve)
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
Comparing CSTR vs. PFR
• But when do we use CSTR and PFR?
• Main concept
– Assume that minimizing the Volume is priority!
– Ignore all costs associated to engineering the project!
• You WILL need to have the rates of reactions for every conversion (at least intervals)
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
CSTR vs. PFR Sizing
• CSTR Volumes (min, NA, max)
• PFR Volumes (min, NA, max)

Reactor in Series

Reactor in Series
• Now lets suppose we have different existing reactors in the plant
• We could arrange them to maximize our production/conversion
• What order are the best orders?– PFR + PFR
– CSTR + CSTR
– CSTR + PFR
– PFR+ CSTR
• The fun starts here!
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
Single Pass Conversion vs. Global Conversion
• Single Pass conversion: Conversion of ONE unit (one reactor)– XAi= Moles reacted in that reactor / Moles fed to that reactor
• Global Conversion: Conversion so far– XA= Moles reacted so far / Moles fed to first reactor

CSTR in Series
• Note that
– For 1 CSTR to get 80% Conversion 6.4 m3
– For this new arrangement (2 CSTR @ 40% and 80%) We needed 4.02 m3 which is 30% less
• Is it worth it?
• Reactor Sizing is not the only $$ to decide!
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
CSTR in Series
• Try 3 and more CST-Reactors in series
• If you want to see examples like this, go to the web page!
• Check out the Reactor Engineering Course!
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
Approximation of a PFR with CSTR
• What would happen if we add a lot of CSTR in our process?
• The volume will approximate that of a PFR
• Similar to trapezoidal rule (rectangles in this case)

• Therefore
• If N is the number of CSTR reactors placed in Series
• And N infinity
• Then the Volume required for those CSTR in total is the same as ONE PFR

Section 4
Space-Time and Spatial-Velocity
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
Space-Time
• Space time is obtained by dividing the reactor volume by the volumetric flow rate. Then you get units of TIME
• This “Time” may be the “residence time”
• Time necessary to process one reactor volume of fluid based on entrance conditions– Holding Time
– Residence Time
• NOTES: Measured at the entrance/inlet
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
Space-Time
• Typical Space-Times
– Batch Reactors minutes to many hours
– CSTR minutes to hours
– PFR seconds to 1 hour
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
Space-Time: Exercise
• Tank Volume = 0.20 m3
• Volumetric Flow rate = 0.01 m3/s
– Space-Time = Reactor Volume / Vol. Flow• 0.20/0.01 = 20 seconds
www. Chemical Engineering Guy .com
Spatial-Velocity
• Is the inverse of the Space-Time
– SV = 1/Space-Time
– SV = Volumetric Flow Rate / Tank Volume
• LHSV and GHSV
– Liquid Hourly S-V
– Gas Hourly S-V
