Chapter 1
Reactor DesignâGeneral Principles
Ramamurthy Ravi Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, India
Abstract
A brief introduction to the basic objectives of reactor design and the various types of reactors used in the chemical industry is given. Material and energy balances are discussed from a fundamental viewpoint, and the specializing conditions leading to the simplified equations directly useful for reactor design are made clear. Kinetics, a crucial input to reactor design, is dealt with in some detail with examples of rate equations and how to obtain them from a given mechanism. Special attention is given to obtaining the kinetics from batch reactor data. A systematic derivation of the design equations of the ideal reactorsâbatch reactor, plug flow reactor, and continuous stirred tank reactorâis provided. Both isothermal and nonisothermal cases as well as liquid-phase and gas-phase reactions are analyzed. Examples are provided to illustrate the application of the equations. The chapter ends with a study of multiple reactions, both series and parallel, in ideal reactors.
