2C2AB1 Reactors engineering Materials and Chemistry S8
Lessons : 14 h TD : 10 h TP : 0 h Project : 0 h Total : 24 h
Co-ordinator : Federico AZZOLINA-JURY
Prerequisite
Thermodynamics and Kinetics, Process Engineering
Course Objectives
Know how to model and optimize an ideal reactor. Model non-ideal reactors from two simple models: model of axial dispersion and model of n CSTR reactors in series.
Syllabus
Reminders: thermodynamics, kinetics
Ideal reactors: material balance and enthalpy balance
Study of the influence of the reagent concentration and the temperature on the reactor performance.
Non-ideal reactors: distribution of residence time
Practical work (TD or TP)
Project 2A or 3A: modeling and optimization using Excel or Matlab of a non-isothermal reactor with heat exchange.
Acquired skills
The student will model and optimize an ideal reactor and analyze the non-ideal behavior of a reactor from two simple models: model of axial dispersion and model of n CSTR reactors in series.
