  2. Algorithm for Isothermal Reactor Design • Mole Balance and Design Equation • Rate Law • Stoichiometry • Combine • Evaluate

  3. Algorithm Analyze the following second order gas phase reaction that occurs isothermally in a PBR: 

  4. Algorithm Analyze the following second order gas phase reaction that occurs isothermally in a PBR:  Mole Balance: Must use the differential form of the mole balance to separate variables:

  5. Algorithm Analyze the following second order gas phase reaction that occurs isothermally in a PBR:  Mole Balance: Must use the differential form of the mole balance to separate variables: Rate Law: Second order in A and irreversible:

  20. Separate Integrate Analytical Solution

  21. Separate Integrate Analytical Solution For gas phase reactions, as the pressure drop increases, the concentation decreases, resulting in a decreased rate of reaction, hence a lower conversion when compared to a reactor without a pressure drop.
