CH3701 Chemical Reaction Engineering II Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVE:
The course is aimed to
Learn gas solid non catalytic, gas solid catalytic and fluid- fluid reaction and apply the knowledge for the reactor design.
UNIT I
Gas solid non catalytic reaction. Reaction kinetics, Shrinking Core Model and Progressive conversion model, Controlling resistances (diffusion through gas film, ash layer and chemical reaction controlling), rate controlling steps; time for Complete Conversion for Single and Mixed Sizes, design of fluid –particle reactors.
UNIT II
Catalysis and adsorption: physical properties of catalyst, surface area, void volume, solid density, volume determination, catalyst classification and preparation, catalyst promoters, catalyst inhibitors, catalyst poisons. Adsorption Isotherms Freundlich and Langumir isotherms.
UNIT III
Gas solid catalytic reaction: steps in catalytic reaction, Single site, dual site mechanisms, Langmuir Hinshelwood, EleyRideal, Rate controlling steps. Experimental methods for determining rate, differential, integral reactor and reactor deign.
UNIT IV
Diffusion within Catalyst Particle, Mass and Heat Transfer Within Catalyst Pellets, Effectiveness Factor, Thiele Modulus, Effectiveness factor for non isothermal condition.
UNIT V
