temperature profile with heat
exchange

• Simultaneous Feed Pre Heating or Pre

Cooling with Reaction (endothermic
or exothermic)

• Inter Stage Heating or Cooling with

external heating or cooling streams

 Material and Energy Balance
Operating Curves
• Now, for a given feed temperature TI the
intersection of the energy balance line with the S-
shaped material balance line for the operating T
gives the conditions within the reactor.
 Possible cases for Exothermic
IRREVERSIBLE Reaction
• Thermally self sustaining system
(T1A)
• Thermally Un – Sustain System (T1B)
• Thermally Intermediate System (T1C)
• M” unstable state
• Point M" is an unstable state because
with a small rise in temperature the
heat produced (with the rapidly rising
material balance curve) is greater
than the heat consumed by the
reacting mixture (energy balance
curve). The excess heat produced
will make the temperature rise until
Mu' is reached
