Process Classification
3 type of chemical processes;1. Batch process
Feed is charge to the process and product isremoved when the process is completed
No mass is fed or removed from the processduring the operation
Used for small scale production Operate in unsteady state

2. Continuous process
Input and output is continuously red andremove from the process
Operate in steady state Used for large scale production3. Semibatch process
Neither batch nor continuous
During the process a part of reactant can befed or a part of product can be removed.

2 type of process operations;
1. Steady state
All the variables (i.e. temperatures, pressure,volume, flow rate, etc) do not change withtime
Minor fluctuation can be acceptable2. Unsteady state or transient

Balances
General Balance Equation
A balanceon a conserved quantity(total mass,
mass of a particular species, energy, momentum)in a system( a single process unit, a collection ofunits, or an entire process) may be written as:
INPUT + GENERATION OUTPUT CONSUMPTION= ACCUMULATION

Differential vs. Integral Balances
2 types of balances:
1. Differential balances
balances that indicate what is happening in asystem at an instant time.
balance equation is arate(rate of input, rateof generation, etc.) and has units of thebalanced quantity unit divided by a time unit(people/yr, g SO2/s).
usually applied to a continuous process.
-
8/13/2019 Chapter 3 Material Balance- Part 1
14/58
2. Integral balances
Balances that describe what happens betweentwo instants of time.
balance equation is an amountof thebalanced quantity and has the correspondingunit (people, g SO2).
usually applied to a batch process, with thetwo instants of time being the moment afterthe input takes place and the moment beforethe product is withdrawn.

Simplified Rules for Material BalanceEquation:
If the balanced quantity is TOTAL MASS, setgeneration = 0 and consumption = 0. Mass canneither be created nor destroy.
If the balanced substances is a NONREACTIVESPECIES(neither a reactant nor a product), setgeneration = 0 and consumption = 0.
If a system is at STEADY STATE, setaccumulation = 0, regardless of what is beingbalanced.

Balances on Continuous Steady-StateProcess
Steady state; accumulation = 0
INPUT + GENERATION = OUTPUT + CONSUMPTION
If balance on nonreactive species or on totalmass; generation = 0, accumulation = 0
INPUT = OUTPUT

Balances on Batch Process
Ammonia is produced from nitrogen and hydrogen
in a batch reactor. At time t = 0 there are n0mol ofNH3in the reactor, and at a later time tfthereaction terminates and the contents of the reactor,which include nf ammonia, are withdrawn. Between
t0and tfno ammonia enters or leaves through thereactor boundaries.
From GBE; input=0 and output=0
GENERATION CONSUMPTION = ACCUMULATIONFor batch reactor:ACCUMULATION= INITIAL INPUT FINAL OUTPUT

Material Balance Calculation
In material balances problems, equationsinvolving input and output stream variables arederived.
Solving the equations is simple, but derivingthem from a description of process is consideredtricky.
Hence, procedure to derive a set of equationsthat can be solved for unknown variables will be
outlined.

Flowcharts
When you are given process information andasked to determine something about the process,it is essential to organize the information in away that is convenient for subsequent
calculations. The best way to do this is to draw a flowchart
using boxes or other symbols to representprocess units (reactors, mixers, separation
units, etc.)
lines with arrows to represent inputs andoutputs.

Flowcharts-continue
The flowchart of a process can help get materialbalance calculations started and keep themmoving.
Flowchart must be fully labeled when it is firstdrawn, with values of known process variablesand symbols for unknown variables being writtenfor each input and output stream.
Flowchart will functions as a scoreboard for theproblem solution: as each unknown variable isdetermined its value is filled in, so that theflowchart provides a continuous record of wherethe solution stands and what must still be done.

Labeling a flowchart
2 suggestions for labeling flowchart:
1. Write the values and unitsof all known streamvariables at the locations of the streamson theflowchart.
For example, a stream containing 21 mole% O2and 79% N2at 320C and 1.4 atm flowing at arate of 400 mol/h might be labeled as:
400 mol/h
0.21 mol O2/mol0.79 mol N2/molT = 320C, P = 1.4 atm

Process stream can be given in two ways:
a) As the total amountor flow rate of the streamand the fractionsof each component
b) Or directly as the amount or flow rateof eachcomponent.

If that the mass of stream 1 is half that of stream2, label the masses of these streams as mand2mrather than m1and m2.
If you know that mass fraction of nitrogen is 3times than oxygen, label mass fractions as
y g O2/gand 3y g N2/grather than y1and y2.
When labeling component mass fraction or molefraction, the last one must be 1 minus the sum ofthe others.
If volumetric flow rateof a stream is given, it isgenerally useful to label the mass or molar flowrate of this streamor to calculate it directly, sincebalance are not written on volumetric qualities.

Flowchart scalingprocedure of changing thevalues of all stream amounts or flow rates by aproportional amount while leaving the streamcompositions unchanged. The process would still
be balance.
Scaling-upif final stream quantities are largerthan the original quantities.

Flowchart Scaling & Basis of Calculation
Suppose you have balanced a process and theamount or flow rateof one of the processstreams is n1.You can scale the flow chart tomake the amount or flow rate of this stream n2
by multiplying all stream amounts or flow rate bythe ratio n2/n1.
You cannot, however, scale masses or mass flow
rates to molar quantities or vice versa by simplemultiplication; conversions of this type must becarried out using the methods as discussed inmass fraction and mol fraction section.

Basis of Calculation
A basisof calculation is an amount (mass ormoles) of flow rate (mass or molar) of onestream or stream component in a process. Allunknown variables are determined to beconsistent with the basis.
If a stream amount or flow rate is giveninproblem, choose this quantity as a basis
If no stream amount or flow rate are known,assume one streamwith known composition. If
mass fraction is known, choose total mass ormass flow rate as basis. If mole fraction isknown, choose a total moles or molar flow rateas basis.

2 rules for balancing nonreactive processes:
1. The maximum number of independent equationsthat can be derived by writing balances on anonreactive system equals the number of
chemical speciesin the input and outputstreams. (balances for substance and totalmass)

unknownvariables.

Degree-of-Freedom Analysis
Before do any material balance calculation, use aproperly drawn and labeled flowchart todetermine whether there is enough informationto solve a given problem.
The procedure for doing so is referred to asdegree-of-freedom analysis.

1. Draw and completely label a flowchart
2. Count the unknown variables on the chart
(n unknowns)1. Count the independent equations (n indep. eq.)
2. Find number of degree-of-freedom (ndf)

3 possibilitiesfrom degree-of-freedom analysis:
1. If ndf = 0
the problem can in principle be solved.2. If ndf > 0
there are more unknowns than independentequations relating to them
at least ndfadditional variable values must bespecified before remaining variable values can
be determined. Either relations have been overlooked or the
problem is underspecified.
