Objectives

After completing Chapter 8 of the text and associated CD ROM material the reader will be able to:
  • Describe the algorithm for CSTRs, PFRs, and PBRs that are not operated isothermally.
  • Size adiabatic and nonadiabatic CSTRs, PFRs, and PBRs.
  • Use reactor staging to obtain high conversions for highly exothermic reversible reactions.
  • Carry out an analysis to determine the Multiple Steady States (MSS) in a CSTR along with the ignition and extinction temperatures.
  • Analyze multiple reactions carried out in CSTRs, PFRs, and PBRs which are not operated isothermally in order to determine the concentrations and temperature as a function of position (PFR/PBR) and operating variables.
  • Use COMSOL Multiphysics to solve for both axial and radial tempearture and concentration profiles.
