Lecture 9 Flashcards
1
Q
Typically in a PBR what way is it common to determine the reaction rate?
A
with respect to mass or weight of catalyst and not the volume of the fluid
2
Q
A heterogeneous reaction rate has dimensions of :
A
moles consumed or produced/ (mass catalyst*time)
3
Q
What are the assumptions with a PBR?
A
no radial gradients in concentration, temperature, or reaction rate
4
Q
What does W mean in the PBR equation?
A
The catalyst weight necessary to reduce the entering molar flow rate of species A, F_Ao, down to F_A
