Your company produces a compound P through the isomerisation of the feed material A at 300K. Two other isomers of the decomposition of A occur simultaneously. The reactions can be represented by the following reactions: A-X; AP: A-Y (a) Give the precise definitions of the following terms. Also give the mathematical Mathematical and definition where applicable: Scientific Terms (1) Parallel, series, complex and independent reactions. (ii) Selectivity and yield [10] (b) Discuss how you would go about maximising the selectivity for your desired product P for a given concentration of the feed component A, at a given Theory in temperature T, in terms of Engineering (1) Concentration of the feed material Problems (ii) Reactor types. (iii) Temperature. [10] Mathematical (c) Show, stepwise, how you would go about solving this problem should you be Methods given adequate kinetic and energetic information [10] (d) The characteristics of each reaction are given in Table 1 given together with their kinetic and energetic parameters: REACTION Rate constant Order of reaction Activation Energy A-X AP AY Calculations For the specific instances of specified in the Table 1. determine: [10] (1) The concentration, in the reaction mixture required to achieve the maximum selectivity, S, given an initial concentration - (ii) The maximum selectivity S, achievable. (iii) The volume of a CSTR required to achieve the maximum selectivity, for a volumetric flow rate V. (iv) How would you maximise the selectivity with respect to temperature? (v) Calculate the conversion in the CSTR (e) Use a mathematical program or software of your choice to answer the following: Calculations: Develop a mathematical model for the process, and use it to demonstrate the Mathematical following: [10] software Variation of selectivity with flowrate of the feed. (ii) Variation of conversion with feed flowrate. (vi) Would it be possible to obtain a higher conversion? Interpretation of If so, then how can this be achieved? Data Discuss the consequences of doing so. [10]
