  12. Chemical Reaction Engineering Chemical reaction engineering is at the heart of virtually every chemical process. It separates the chemical engineer from other engineers.

  13. Chemical Reaction Engineering Chemical reaction engineering is at the heart of virtually every chemical process. It separates the chemical engineer from other engineers. Industries that Draw Heavily on Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) are: CPI (Chemical Process Industries) Dow, DuPont, Amoco, Chevron Pharmaceutical – Antivenom, Drug Delivery Medicine – Tissue Engineering, Drinking and Driving Microelectronics – CVD Automotive Chemical Sensors – CO, NOx

  14. Chemical reaction engineering is the field that studies the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions and the design of the reactors in which they take place.

  23. Critical Thinking Socratic Questioning is the Heart of Critical Thinking R. W. Paul’s Six Types of Socratic Questions

  24. Assignments ICMs Web Material Let’s see if we can go to the web

  25. Outline • Black board

  26. Chemical Identity • A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity.

  27. Chemical Identity • A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity. • The identity of a chemical species is determined by the kind, number, and configuration of that species’ atoms.

  28. Chemical Identity • A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity. 1. Decomposition

  29. Chemical Identity • A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity. 1. Decomposition 2. Combination

  30. Chemical Identity • A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity. 1. Decomposition 2. Combination 3. Isomerization

  31. Reaction Rate • The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume.

  32. Reaction Rate • The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume. • The rate of a reaction can be expressed as the rate of disappearance of a reactant or as the rate of appearance of a product.

  33. Reaction Rate Consider the isomerization : rA = the rate of formation of species A per unit volume

  34. Reaction Rate Consider the isomerization rA = the rate of formation of species A per unit volume -rA = the rate of a disappearance of species A per unit volume

  35. Reaction Rate Consider the isomerization rA = the rate of formation of species A per unit volume -rA = the rate of a disappearance of species A per unit volume rB = the rate of formation of species B per unit volume

  36. Reaction Rate • EXAMPLE: If B is being formed at 0.2 moles per decimeter cubed per second, ie, rB = 0.2 mole/dm3/s

  37. Reaction Rate • EXAMPLE: * If B is being formed at 0.2 moles per decimeter cubed per second, ie, rB = 0.2 mole/dm3/s Then A is disappearing at the same rate: -rA= 0.2 mole/dm3/s

  38. Reaction Rate • EXAMPLE: If B is being formed at 0.2 moles per decimeter cubed per second, ie, rB = 0.2 mole/dm3/s Then A is disappearing at the same rate: -rA= 0.2 mole/dm3/s The rate of formation (generation of A) is rA= -0.2 mole/dm3/s

  39. Reaction Rate • For a catalytic reaction, we refer to -rA', which is the rate of disappearance of species A on a per mass of catalyst basis. NOTE: dCA/dt is not the rate of reaction

  40. Reaction Rate Consider species j: • rj is the rate of formation of species j per unit volume [e.g. mol/dm3*s]

  41. Reaction Rate • rj is the rate of formation of species j per unit volume [e.g. mol/dm3*s] • rj is a function of concentration, temperature, pressure, and the type of catalyst (if any)
