Lecture 5 - Stoichiometry For Constant Volume Systems
Lecture 5 - Stoichiometry For Constant Volume Systems
Outline:
Recap algorithm to get reaction rate as a
function of conversion
Stoichiometric table for constant volume batch
reactors
Stoichiometric table for flow reactors with
constant volumetric flow rate.
Algorithm
How to find
rA = f ( X )
rA = g (Ci )
Step 2: Stoichiometry
(Ci ) = h( X )
rA = f ( X )
Stoichiometry
We shall set up Stoichiometric tables using
species A as our basis of calculation (i.e. assume A
is the limiting reactant).
We will use the stoichiometric tables to express the
concentration as a function of conversion.
We will combine Ci = f(X) with the appropriate rate
law to obtain -rA = f(X).

Consider the following elementary reaction with
KC= 10 dm3/mol and CA0 = CB0 = 2 mol/dm3.
The reaction takes place in a flow reactor.
