    The document contains a midterm exam from a 5th semester Chemical Reaction Engineering course taught by Dr. Faheem sb. The exam contains two questions: 1) The first question asks the student to determine the rate of methane (CH4) formation in terms of stable molecules based on a proposed reaction mechanism for the pyrolysis of acetaldehyde. Pseudo steady state is assumed for some reaction intermediates. 2) The second question asks the student to derive an analytical expression to test the suitability of first order, uni-molecular, reversible kinetics using an integral method of analysis.

    CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

    Semester: 5th (2018 session) Type of exam: mid-term

    Subject name: Chemical Reaction Engineering Teacher’s name: Dr. Faheem sb


    Q 1:

    The Pyrolysis of Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) has been proposed to involve the following reactions:

    CH3CHO K1 CH3 + CHO

    CH3 + CH3CHO K2 CH4 + CH3CO

    CH3CO K3 CH3 +CO

    2CH3 K4 C 2H 6

    Pseudo steady state Assumption can be applied to the reaction intermediates (that is CH3, CHO
    and CH3CO). Other species in the reaction mechanism (CH3CHO, CH4, CO and C2H6) are stable
    molecules. Determine the rate of methane (CH4) formation in terms of stable molecules.

    Q 2:

    Derive analytical expression for testing the suitability of first order, uni-molecular, reversible
    kinetics (A K1 R, R K2 A ) using integral method of Analysis
