Introduction to Conversion
• We choose the limiting reactant as a basis of calculation
• Relate to all other species
• Then we quantify “how far” does the reaction goes
aA+bB cC + dD
A+b/a ·B c/a ·C + d/a ·D

Definition of Conversion
• XA= Moles of A reacted / Moles of A fed
• By logic means… 0 <= XA <= 1
• Note that as X increases, the reaction converts more reactant of A to (a) given product(s)

Conversion Example
• 284.4 gmol of A is fed to a reactor. After 4 hours, the outlet stream contains 20.3 gmol of A… What is the conversion
– a) moles of A reacted b) moles of A fed
– Moles of a reacted = (284.4– 20.3)gmol = 264.4 gmol
– Moles fed (is given in the data) = 284.4 gmol
– XA= 264.4/284.4 = 0.9296 as fraction or 92.96%
XA= Moles of A reacted / Moles of A fed

Why Conversion?
• It help us to establish a “standard” – e.g. not speak of flows (there are many flows possible)– conversion is only between 0 and 1
• Its easier to get a 100% of reaction progress• Example:
– 100 gmol of A are fed and 70 gmol of A are transformed to products• 70% conversion is achieved
– 35.4 gmol of A are fed and 12.4 gmol of A are transformed to products• 35% conversion is achieved
– We could say that the first reaction is 2 times efficient as the second one, independent of the flows

Molar Balances of Reactors in terms of Conversion
• We’ve seen before how to change from Flowsto Concentration (by volume or volumetric flow rate)
• This time we use the definition of conversionto transform all the design equations to Equations in terms of Conversion!
• This is very useful
• Specially in one-reaction reactors

Batch Reactor & Conversion
XA= moles of A reacted / moles of A fed
NA= moles of A at the outlet (exit or final)
NA0 = moles of A at the inlet (initial)
Moles of A reacted = NA0-NA
Moles of A fed = NA0
XA= (NA0-NA)/NA0 or express it for NA (moles of A at any moment)
NA = NA0(1-XA)

Reactor Sizing
• It is normal to calculate the size needed for a certain reaction/process to achieve certain conversion XA
• The size is an important factor and it implies $
• The bigger the reactor gets, the higher the price
![Page 29: Conversion and Reactor Sizing - Reactor Engineering Course Block 2](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020101/55a698b01a28ab702d8b4875/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
CSTR Sizing
• Sizing implies calculation of Volumes…
• Normally you calculate a volume– With this volume and the type of reactor you:
• Choose a Diameter
• Choose a Height/Length of the reactor
• In a CSTR, the Volume is represented in a graph by the “Rectangle”– The height is Fa0/-rA
– The base is the conversion XA

CSTR Sizing
• It is common that the student thinks the volume is the “shaded” area under the curve
• This is not the case
• A CSTR is an Algebraic calculation, it will never be an area under the curve
• A CSTR’s Volume is always the area of the rectangle– Height
– Base

• Note that the data of rate of reaction does not depends on the reactor!
• It can be used for all types of reactors!
• Even though you use one specific reactor
– It applies to any reactor!

PFR Sizing
• Sizing a PFR is a little bit more complex than CSTR due to the “Integral” concept
• This is NOT an algebraic calculation
• It is common that the student thinks the area under the curve is the volume
– He is RIGHT!
• The area under the curve of the rate of reaction will give you the volume

PFR Sizing
• Many rates of reaction get “under”
• The area is generally lower as a CSTR
• Take care, this is NOT always the case
– When not?
– We will see this case later on…

Comparing CSTR vs. PFR• If you’ve done the problems, you will see that when
we use CSTR or PFR the volumes change for the SAME reaction!
• This is due to the “Volume” calculation in our Design Equations
– CSTR Algebraic Concept (b·h)
– PFR Integral Concept (area under curve)

Comparing CSTR vs. PFR
• But when do we use CSTR and PFR?
• Main concept
– Assume that minimizing the Volume is priority!
– Ignore all costs associated to engineering the project!
• You WILL need to have the rates of reactions for every conversion (at least intervals)

Reactor in Series
• Now lets suppose we have different existing reactors in the plant
• We could arrange them to maximize our production/conversion
• What order are the best orders?– PFR + PFR
– CSTR + CSTR
– CSTR + PFR
– PFR+ CSTR
• The fun starts here!

Single Pass Conversion vs. Global Conversion
• Single Pass conversion: Conversion of ONE unit (one reactor)– XAi= Moles reacted in that reactor / Moles fed to that reactor
• Global Conversion: Conversion so far– XA= Moles reacted so far / Moles fed to first reactor

CSTR in Series
• Note that
– For 1 CSTR to get 80% Conversion 6.4 m3
– For this new arrangement (2 CSTR @ 40% and 80%) We needed 4.02 m3 which is 30% less
• Is it worth it?
• Reactor Sizing is not the only $$ to decide!

Approximation of a PFR with CSTR
• What would happen if we add a lot of CSTR in our process?
• The volume will approximate that of a PFR
• Similar to trapezoidal rule (rectangles in this case)

• If N is the number of CSTR reactors placed in Series
• And N infinity
• Then the Volume required for those CSTR in total is the same as ONE PFR

Space-Time
• Space time is obtained by dividing the reactor volume by the volumetric flow rate. Then you get units of TIME
• This “Time” may be the “residence time”
• Time necessary to process one reactor volume of fluid based on entrance conditions– Holding Time
– Residence Time
• NOTES: Measured at the entrance/inlet

Space-Time: Exercise
• Tank Volume = 0.20 m3
• Volumetric Flow rate = 0.01 m3/s
– Space-Time = Reactor Volume / Vol. Flow• 0.20/0.01 = 20 seconds

Spatial-Velocity
• Is the inverse of the Space-Time

– SV = Volumetric Flow Rate / Tank Volume

End of Block RE2
• We’ve practiced the Design Equations
– Now we have Equations in terms of Flows, Concentrations and Conversion
• We’ve see how CSTR vary their volume according to the rate of reaction
• We’ve seen also the PFR Volume, which is the area under the “Rate of Reaction Function”

End of Block RE2
• We have experimented when it is more suitable to use a CSTR or a PFR
• We know how to minimize the Volume of the whole process
• You are familiar with the Space-Time and Spatial-Velocity concepts
