Design Equations

Batch Reactors

Design equation for batch:ConversionVolume (ft3)Moles of A (t=0)Rate of reaction (lbmol A)/[(h)*(ft3)]Reaction time (h)

Continuous stirred tank reactors

Design equation for CSTR:(continuous stirred tank reactors)ConversionMolar flow of A (t=0)Rate of reaction (lbmol A)/[(h)*(ft3)]

Plug Flow Reactors

Design equation for PFR:ConversionMolar flow of A (t=0)Rate of reaction (lbmol A)/[(h)*(ft3)]Volume of reactor (ft3)

Packed Bed Reactors

Design equation for PBR:ConversionMolar flow of A (t=0)Rate of reaction (lbmol A)/[(h)*(lb of catalyst)]Weight of catalyst (lb)
