***** USE AND EQUATION SOLVER LIKE POLYMATH TO PLOT*****
~~~~~~~~~~ DO NOT COMPLETE NUMBER 2, ONLY PARTS A AND B BELOW~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use the data in question 2(attached as picture) for the case when heat is removed by a heat exchanger jacketing the reactor. The flow rate of coolant through the jacket is sufficiently high that the ambient exchanger temperature is contant at T_a=50degC.
a) Plot the temperature and conversion profiles for a PBR with Ua/pb=0.08 J/s-kg cat-K. How would the profiles change if Ua/pb were increased?
b) Repeat part (a) assuming a reversible reaction with a reverse rate constant of:
k=0.2exp[Er/R(1/450-1/T)]{L^2/kgcat-mol-s} Er=51.4 kJ/mol
Vary the entering temperature, T0, and describe what you find.
