Unit-II - Lectures-Notes-Modeling of Reactors

This document outlines the course objectives for modelling reactors, which include understanding basic modelling concepts and principles, developing mathematical models using fundamental laws, and applying modelling and simulation to chemical engineering systems using software. It then provides examples of modelling different types of reactors, such as series/parallel CSTR reactors, batch reactors, non-isothermal reactors, and pressurized gas phase reactors. The examples give the assumptions for each type of reactor and develop the mathematical models.

Two Heated Tanks

Dr Raj Verma (CBIT Hyderabad) 33


Assumptions
1. Two perfectly mixed tanks are connected in series and an oil is passing through it

2. Oil entering in to the tank is having constant temperature T0 and initial steady state tanks

are at a temperature of T1 and T2 respectively.

3. Volume of the two tanks are different but it is constant for individual tanks

4. Density and specific heats of the oil is constant

5. A heating coil is used in the first tank to heat the oil. Thus we can take Q1 as the rate of

heat addition in to the tank.
