Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE)
is the field that studies the rates and
mechanisms of chemical reactions and
the design of the reactors in which they
take place.

14. Order of Reaction
In chemical kinetics, the order of
reaction with respect to a given substance
(such as reactant, catalyst or product) is
defined as the index, or exponent, to which
its concentration term in the rate
equation is raised.
r = [A]x [B]y
[A], [B], are concentrations,
x for substance A & y for substance B, the
reaction orders/ partial reaction orders).
Overall reaction order is
x + y + .... 14

Plug Flow Reactor
Fluid passes through the reactor with no
mixing of earlier and later entering fluid,
and with no overtaking.
it is as if the fluid moved in single file
through the reactor.

35. Activation Energy and
Temperature Dependency
From Arrhenius' law a plot of In k vs 1/T gives
a straight line, with large slope for large E and
small slope for small E.
Reactions with high activation energies are
very temperature-sensitive; reactions with low
activation energies are relatively temperature-
insensitive.
Any given reaction is much more
temperature-sensitive at a low temperature
than at a high temperature.
From the Arrhenius law, the value of the
frequency factor k, does not affect the
temperature sensitivity.

Such reactions in which the rate equation corresponds to a stoichiometric equation
are called elementary reactions.
When there is no direct correspondence between stoichiometry and rate, then
we have nonelementary reactions.
A nonelementary reaction is one whose stoichiometry does not match its kinetics.
For example,
Stoichiometry: N2 + 3H2 =2NH3
Rate:
This nonmatch shows that we must try to develop a multistep reaction model
to explain the kinetics.
where k, is called the frequency or pre-exponential factor and E is called the
activation energy of the reaction." This expression fits experiment well over wide
temperature ranges and is strongly suggested from various standpoints as being
a very good approximation to the true temperature dependency.
At the same concentration, but at two different temperatures, Arrhenius' law
indicates that
