Practice
• Milk is pasteurized after heating at 63 °C for 30 min.
Industrially it is performed in only 15 seconds at 74
°C. Find energy of activation. Assume that the same
amount of microorganisms are degraded with both
treatments (R=8.314 J/mol K). How much time is
required for processing ultra-high temperature (140
°C) pasteurized milk?
Analysis Methods
• Integral Kinetic expression is selected and integrated
within reactor model.
• Differential Direct evaluation of reaction rate
(1/V)(dN/dt)
Assume that decomposition of benzene diazonium
chloride follows an elementary kinetic model. Find rate
equation taking into account some data
experimentally obtained.
