2. EXAMPLE 2
• Open example 1 then add the following:
• CO+H2O↔CO2 +H2
• The vapor from the conversion reactor will be sent to an equilibrium reactor
where the previous equation takes place.
• The vapor is sent to the reactor in addition to steam at 100C and 2 bar with a flow
rate of 100kgmole per hour

3. EXAMPLE 3 REACTION TYPE: KINETICS
• Reaction 1
• Toluene + Hydrogen  Benzene + Methane
• Partial pressure, toluene as a base component, and the reaction is in vapor phase
reaction
• Temp range = -273 to 3000 C
• A= 3.7*106 KJ/Kg mole
• E= 2.1 * 105 KJ/Kg mole
• Basis units : Psia & lbmole/ft3 min

4. EXAMPLE 3 REACTION TYPE: KINETICS
• Reaction 2
• 2 Benzene = Biphenyl + Hydrogen
• Partial pressure, benzen as base component, and the reaction is in vapor phase
• A= 60000 kj/kgmole
• E=2.1 *105 kj/kgmole
• Reverse A = 2.6 * 105 kj/kgmole
• Basis units : Psia & lbmole/ft3 min

5. EXAMPLE 3 REACTION TYPE: KINETICS
• A stream at 635 degree celsius and 3447 kpa with a total molar flow rate of
1611kgmole/hr has the following composition
• Methane 0.0425
• Benzen 0.3943
• Biphenyl 0.099
• Hydrogen 0.0634
• Toluene 0.4007

6. EXAMPLE 3 REACTION TYPE: KINETICS
• Enters a plug flow reactor
• The PFR volume is 87 m3 and the length of it is 0.34 m
• That has a pressure drop of 100 kpa

7. EXAMPLE 3 REACTION TYPE: KINETICS
• The stream is cooled to 90 degrees celsius and the pressure drop in cooler is 100
kpa
• Then sent to a separator
