ADVANCED CHEMICAL REACTION ENGINEERING
(CHEMICAL ENGINEERING)
Time: 3hours Max.Marks:60
Answer any five questions
All questions carry equal marks
- - -
1. Substance A reacts according to second order kinetics and conversion is 95%
from a single flow reactor. We buy a second unit identical to the first. For the
same conversion, by how much is the capacity increased if we operate these two
units in parallel or in series?
a) The reactors are both plug flow. b) The reactors are both mixed flow.

2. A mixed flow reactor (2 m
3
) processes an aqueous feed (100 liter/min) containing
reactant A (C
Ao
= 100 m.mol/liter). The reaction is reversible and represented by
A R, -r
A
= 0.04C
A
0.01C
R
mol/liter.min
What is the equilibrium conversion and the actual conversion in the reactor?

3. Write detailed note on:
a) Design procedure for flow reactor.
b) Shifting order reactions.

4. A solid catalyzed first-order reaction = 0, takes place with 50% conversion in a
basket type mixed reactor. What will be the conversion if the reactor size is
tripled and all else-temperature, amount of catalyst, feed composition, and flow
rate remains unchanged?

5.a) Describe the different types of catalysts with examples.
b) Explain the three mechanisms by which a reactant adsorbed onto the catalyst
surface is capable of reacting to form the product.

6.a) Using the dispersion model calculate the conversion for a closed vessel for the
first order isomerization A B with k = 0.18 min
1
. The results of a tracer test
carried out on this reactor are as follows:
t (s) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 14
C
(mg/liter)
0 1 5 8 10 8 6 4 3 2.2 1.5 0.6 0
b) Compare your result in part (a) with the conversion calculated from a PFR.

7.a) Discuss about mixing of two miscible fluids.
b) What is a fluid-fluid reaction? How it differ from fluid-solid reaction?

8. Develop an equation describing diffusion and reaction in a catalyst pellet. Assume
that the surface reaction is of n
th
order in the gas phase concentration of A within
the pellet. Write the boundary conditions to solve the resulting differential
equation.
