Material balance and Energy balance steady state reaction systems.
Law of conservation of mass
Where, Mi = input mass of materialsMo = output mass of materials
If Mi and Mo are different then there are four possible explanation:-
(i) measurement of Mi and Mo may be different
(ii) System has may be some leakage
(iii) Particular material may be consumed or generated by reaction in the system
(iii) Particular material may be accumulated in the system
Continuous systemMi Mo
• If we assume that measurements are correct and there is no leakage in the system.
• Therefore difference between Mi and Mo must be due to consumption or generation by the reaction or may be due to accumulation in the system
• On the basis of above assumption, a general mass balance equation can be written as:
Mass in through the system boundaries +
Mass out through the system boundaries
Mass generated within the system
Mass consumed within the system
Mass accumulated within the system
-
- =
In the above equation right side can be +ve and –ve
Negative accumulation means depletion of pre-exiting reserve material
Mass in the above equation can be –Total massOr mass of particular molecule or atomic speciesOr biomass
----(i)
• Type of material balance – (i) Differential balance method or approach • Each term of equation based on rate • Applicable for continuous process
– (ii) Integral balance method or approach• Based on quantity of mass not on rate• Applicable for batch or semi-batch process
• If continuous process is at steady state then the accumulation is zero
• Mass in + mass generated = mass out + mass consumed
---------------------(ii)
• This equation is known as general steady state mass balance equation.• This is also applicable over entire duration for batch and semi-batch
processes
If reaction does not occur in the system, then both generation =0 and
consumption =0 Therefore, Mass in = mass out ----(iii)
