Question: SIMULATE WITH CHEMCAD Feed: Temperature: 7 0 C , Pressure: 1 atm Water: 8 . 8 9 2 kmo l h Ethanol: 1 8 6

SIMULATE WITH CHEMCAD
Feed:
Temperature: 70C, Pressure: 1atm
Water: 8.892kmolh
Ethanol: 186.59kmolh
Acetic Acid: 192.6kmolh
For PFR and CSTR, in "More
Specifications" section, select the
following:
Activation Energy: J
Molar flow: K-moles
Volume: Cubic meters
Time: Seconds
Stoichiometric Reactor
Ethanol: 70% conversion
Gibbs Reactor
PFR; L=2m,D=0.3m
CSTR; V=0.14m3
Equilibrium Reactor
Ethanol: 70% conversion Please simulate the reactors given in the figure below. The reversible reaction, which takes
place at 70C and 1atm, is given as:
Ethanol + Acetic Acid ~~ Ethyl Acetate + Water
The reaction is first order with respect to each of the reactants (overall secand order). The
preexponential factor is 1.9102m3kmol s and the activation energy is 5.951071kmol. For
the backward reaction, the preexponential factor is 5.0107m3kmol-s and the activation
energy is 5.95107Jkmol. The reaction takes place in the liquid phase, and the components
are in mole basis. Please consider mixed phase as the valid phase for each reactor. Simulate
your process by using NRTL as the thermodynamic K value model and Latent Heat as the
enthalpy model.
a. What is the flow rate of ethyl acetate exiting each reactor in kmolh?
b. What is the conversion of ethanol for each reactor?
c. In the PFR reactor, for each component, draw the composition profile (chose "moles"
as the composition option) as a function of reactor volume.
