CHEMICAL REACTION ENGINEERING

OBJECTIVE:

• Students develop a sound working knowledge on different types of reactors. its also students to experimentally determine the kinetic constant and conversion of a given electrochemical, reactor in a batch reactor, tubular reactor and mixed flow reactor and compare with the theoretically predicted conversions.

LIST OF EXPERIMENTS

1. Kinetic studies in a Batch reactor
2. Kinetic studies in a Plug flow reactor
3. Kinetic studies in a CSTR
4. Kinetic studies in a PFR followed by a CSTR
5. RTD studies in a PFR
6. RTD studies in a CSTR
7. Study of temperature dependence of rate constant using CSTR.

OUTCOMES:

• Acquire knowledge on kinetics of reactors
• Understand rate equation for different types of reactors
• Assess the performance of Plug flow Mixed flow and Packed bed by studying the residence time distribution.
 Determine the kinetic constant and conversion of a given electrochemical reaction in a reactor
 Compare experimentally determined results with the theoretically predicted conversion
