Review: Analysis of Rate Data
• Constant-volume batch reactor for homogeneous reactions: make
concentration vs time measurements during unsteady-state operation
• Differential reactor for solid-fluid reactions: monitor product concentration
for different feed conditions during steady state operation
Goal: determine reaction order, a, and specific reaction rate constant, k
• Data collection is done in the lab so we can simplify BMB, stoichiometry,
and fluid dynamic considerations
• Want ideal conditions → well-mixed (data is easiest to interpret)

Review: Method of Half-lives
Half-life of a reaction (t1/2): time it takes
for the concentration of the reactant to
drop to half of its initial value

Review: Method of Initial Rates
• When the reaction is reversible, the method of initial
rates can be used to determine the reaction order and
the specific rate constant
• Very little product is initially present, so rate of reverse
reaction is negligible
– A series of experiments is carried out at different initial
concentrations
– Initial rate of reaction is determined for each run
– Initial rate can be found by differentiating the data and
extrapolating to zero time
– By various plotting or numerical analysis techniques relating -rA0
to CA0, we can obtain the appropriate rate law:

Specific rate of desired reaction kD increases:
Use higher temperature

less rapidly with increasing T
Use lower temperature(not so low

• aD<aU1, keep CA low
• ED>EU1, operate at a high T
• High CC increases rxn rate &
offsets slow rxn from low CA
• Since ED<EU21, kD increases slower than kU2 as T increases ⇨ operate at low
T to maximize CD
• aD>aU2, keep CA high to maximize CD
• rD, rU1 & rU2 are all 1st order in CC, so changing CC does not influence
selectivity, but high CC will offset the rate decrease due to low CA
• Low CD reduces the production of U2

• Want to maximize CD
• ED<EU2, operate at low T
• aD>aU2, keep CA high
• Low CD reduces production of U2
• High CC increases rxn rate & offsets slow rate caused by low CA
Consider relative magnitude of SD/U1 and DD/U2 as a function of position in PFR
PFR w/ side streams feeding low CA
High T, CC is initially high, CA is low
→ high SD/U1
Initially CD=0 → rU2=0. Both gradually
increase down reactor
Initially high SD/U2 (because CD is low),
but SD/U2 gradually decreases down
reactor
• At some distance down the reactor,
significant amounts of D have formed
• SD/U2 becomes significant with respect
to SD/U1
• At this point, want low T, high CA &
low CC
