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

Let’s Begin CRE

Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) is the field that studies the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions and the design of the reactors in which they take place.

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

Chemical Identity


• The identity of a chemical species is determined by the kind, number, and configuration of that species’ atoms.

Chemical Identity

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

Reaction Rate

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

• The rate of a reaction (mol/dm3/s) can be expressed as either

the rate of Disappearance: -rA

or as

the rate of Formation (Generation): rA

Reaction Rate

Reaction Rate

Consider the isomerization AB

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

Reaction Rate

• EXAMPLE: AB If Species B is being formed at a rate of 0.2 moles per decimeter cubed per second, ie,

rB = 0.2 mole/dm3/s

Reaction Rate• EXAMPLE: AB

rB = 0.2 mole/dm3/s

Then A is disappearing at the same rate:

-rA= 0.2 mole/dm3/s

Reaction Rate

• EXAMPLE: ABrB = 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

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. (mol/gcat/s)

NOTE: dCA/dt is not the rate of reaction

Reaction Rate

Consider species j: • rj is the rate of formation of species j per

unit volume [e.g. mol/dm3/s]

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)

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)

• rj is independent of the type of reaction system (batch reactor, plug flow reactor, etc.)

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) • rj is independent of the type of reaction

system (batch, plug flow, etc.)

• rj is an algebraic equation, not a differential equation

Perfusion interactions between compartments are shown by arrows.

VG, VL, VC, and VM are -tissue water volumes for the gastrointestinal, liver, central and muscle compartments, respectively.

VS is the stomach contents volume.

StomachVG = 2.4 l
