Types of reactors
1.Batch- uniform composition
everywhere in reactor but
changes with time
2. Semi batch- in semi-batch
one reactant will be added
when reaction will proceed
3. Continuous reactor
a. Mixed flow- this is uniformly
mixed , same composition
everywhere, within the
reactor and at exit
b. Plug flow- flow of fluid
through reactor with order so
that only lateral mixing is
possible.
Reactor design parameter
Reactor design basically means which type
and size of reactor and method of operation
we should employ for a given conversation
Parameters
Volume of reactor
Flow rate
Concentration of feed
Reaction kinetic
Temperature
pressure
Isothermal reactor design

Design for parallel
reaction
When a reactant gives two product
(desired, and
undesired)simultaneously with
different rate constant then this is
called a parallel reaction.
To keep maximum amount of desired
product we can take following steps.
Ifa1>a2 or the desired reaction is of
higher order then keep reactant
concentration high for high product
concentration.
If a1<a2 than for desired reaction
keep reactant concentration low.
For a1=a2 change in reactant
concentration will not affect the
product then, because rate constant
k1 and k2 are different at different
temperature so, we can keep our
temperature such that desired
product will be high or use of catalyst
would be a option which are selective
in nature.
Reactor design for
multiple reaction
In multiple reaction reactor design contacting pattern is most important
factor to get a particular product.
In irreversible reaction in series like

Ignition temperature
For burning of coal
minimum ignition required
so, heat should be recycled
Plug flow reactor with
recycle will be most suitable
reactor for this system
Mass Transfer resistance
and rate equation
Total resistance = film
resistance + ash resistance
+ reaction resistance Plug flow reactor
Know as we know the rate of reaction
by knowing all resistance
We know the flow type and reactor
type is plug flow
We know feed rate from heat balance
of burning of coal
From performance equation we will
get the volume of reactor
