Plot X, X e,, a and rate of disappearance of A when there is a heat loss to the coolant and the coolant temperature is constant at 300 K for V = 40 dm 3. How do these curves differ from the adiabatic case. 9

Plot X, X e,, a and rate of disappearance of A when there is a heat loss to the coolant and the coolant temperature varies along the length of the reactor for V = 40 dm 3. he coolant enters at 300 K. How do these curves differ from those in the adiabatic case and part (a) and (b)? 10 d) Variable a Countercurrent. Plot X, X e,, a and rate of disappearance of A when there is a heat loss to the coolant and the coolant temperature varies along the length of the reactor for V = 20 dm 3. he coolant enters at 300 K. How do these curves differ from those in the adiabatic case and part (a) and (b)?

34 Endothermic First Order Irreversible 34 k 1 + Θ I As inert flow increases the conversion will increase. However as inerts increase, reactant concentration decreases, slowing down the reaction. herefore there is an optimal inert flow rate to maximize X.

35 Gas Phase Heat Effects Adiabatic: As 0 decreases the conversion X will increase, however the reaction will progress slower to equilibrium conversion and may not make it in the volume of reactor that you have. X X e X X 35 0 herefore, for exothermic reactions there is an optimum inlet temperature, where X reaches X eq right at the end of V. However, for endothermic reactions there is no temperature maximum and the X will continue to increase as increases.
