Types of Reactors for obtaining Rate Date
■ Batch Reactor Date Analysis is to collect concentration time data, which we then use
to determine the rate law, the homogeneous reactions is most often obtained in a batch
reactor. The rate law is combined with mole balance.
We next use any methods to process the data and arrive at the reaction orders and
specific reaction rate constants
( power law model ) , (mole balance)
Polynomial Method Here we first choose the polynomial degree (in this case, fourth
degree)
Example(Differential Method)
From Example 1 Use the integral method to confirm that the reaction is second order
(A)methyl chloride
EXAMPLE
A plot of (l/CA) versus t should be linear (date from table)
■ To find the values of and k that would minimize the sum of squares of the differences
between the measured and calculated concentrations
Nonlinear Regression
■ To solve for the parameter values is to use time rather than concentrations
■ The half-life of a reaction is defined as the time it takes for the concentration of the
reactant to fall to half of its initial value. By determining many experiment half-life of a
reaction as a function of the initial concentration. the reaction order and specific reaction
rate can be determined. if two reactants , involved in the chemical reaction, the
experimenter will use the method excess.
Differential Reactors Date Analysis
■ A differential reactor is normally used to determine the rate of reaction as a function of
either concentration or partial pressure.
■ It consists of a tube containing a very small amount used of catalyst, As a result, the
reactant concentration through the reactor is essentially constant and approximately qual
to the inlet concentration.
■ The reactor is considered to be gradientless (spatially uniform) and the reaction rate is
considered uniform within the bed.
■ The analysis is done on the product rather than the reactants:

Differential Reactors (Example)
The formation of methane from carbon monoxide and hydrogen, was carried at 50OF in n
differential reactor where the effluent concentration methane was measured, Relate the rate
of reaction to the exit methane concentration.
Solution
Differential Reactors (Example)
The rate for runs 2 through 6 can be calculated in a similar manner
