    Reagent A undergoes an irreversible first-order isomerization reaction to form B. The document provides data and assumptions to determine the reactor volumes needed to produce 2 million pounds of B over 7000 hours of operation under isothermal and adiabatic conditions. The reaction rate expression and rate constant at 163°C are given, along with heat of reaction, activation energy, and physical properties of A and B. Filling, draining, and heating times are also provided to calculate the required reactor volumes.

    1 DETERMINATION OF
    REQUIRED REACTOR VOLUMES FOR
    ISOTHERMAL AND ADIABATIC OPERATION
    IN A BATCH REACTOR

    Reagent A undergoes an essentially irreversible


    isomerization reaction that obeys first-order
    kinetics.
    AB
    Both A and B are liquids at room temperature
    and both have extremely high boiling points.
    Determine the reactor volumes necessary to
    produce 2 million pounds of B in 7000 hr of
    operation:
    1. If the reactor operates isothermally at 163 °C.
    2. If the reactor operates adiabatically.
    Use the data and assumptions listed below.

    Data and Assumptions


    Reaction rate expression: r = kCA
    Rate constant at 163 °C = 0.8 hr-1
    Activation energy = 28,960 cal/g mole
    Heat of reaction = — 83 cal/g
    Molecular weight = 250

    The heat capacities of species A and B may be


    assumed to be identical and equal to 0.5 cal/g-°C.
    Their densities may be assumed to be equal to
    0.9 g/cm3.
    The times necessary to fill and drain the reactor
    may be assumed to be equal to 10 and
    12 min, respectively. It may be assumed that
    negligible reaction occurs during the 14 min it
    takes to heat the feed from the temperature at
    which it enters the reactor to 163 °C. After 97%
    of the A has been isomerized, the hot product
    mixture is discharged to a cooling tank.
