Load the Polymath LEP 12-TI2-3 for Table Tl2-2 from the DVD-ROM for this exothermic reversible reaction with a variable coolant temperature. The elementary reaction
has the following parameter values for the base case.
Vary the following parameters in the ranges shown in Parts (a) through (i). Write a paragraph de cribing the trends you find for each parameter variation and why they look the way they do. Use the base case for parameters not varied. [Hint: See Selftests and Workbook in the Chapter 12 Summary Notes on the DVD-ROM.]
Note: The program gives1= 1.0. Therefore, when you vary 0" you will need to account for the corresponding increase or decrease of CAo because the total concentration, CTo. is constant.
(g) Repeat (f) for counter current coolant flow.
(h) Determine the conversion in a 5,000 kg fluidized CSTR where VA= 500 calls· K with = 320 K and Pb = 2 kg/m3.
(i) Repeat (a), (b), and (d) if the reaction were endothemtic with Kc= 0.01 at 303 K and = +20 kcal/mol.
