HCMUT Chemical Reaction Engineering Apr 28, 2023 Chapter Introduction • Topic of the lecture „Chemical Reaction Engineering“ is the quantitative assessment of chemical reactions The selection of suitable reactor types and their design will be discussed • Reactor design uses information, knowledge, and experience from a variety of areas: thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mass transfer, and economics Chemical reaction engineering is the synthesis of all these factors with the aim of properly designing a chemical reactor • Thermodynamics tell us in which direction a reaction system will develop and how far it is from its equilibrium state • Analyses of kinetics provide information about the rate with which the system will approach equilibrium Mai Thanh Phong -

HCMUT Chemical Reaction Engineering Apr 28, 2023 Chapter Introduction As an example the stoichiometric equation for the oxidation of carbon monoxide is given by: 2CO + O2 → 2CO2 with νCO = -2, vO2 = -1, vCO2 = To calculate changes in the mole number of a component i due to reaction, the following balance has to be respected: ni ni i From this equation results the important stoichiometric balance: ni ni ni nk nk nk i i k k Using the conversion X of a component k, the above equation becomes: i ni ni nk X k k Mai Thanh Phong - HCMUT Chemical Reaction Engineering Apr 28, 2023 Chapter Introduction III Chemical thermodynamics: Chemical thermodynamics deal with equilibrium states of reaction system This Section will concentrate on the following two essential areas: a) The calculation of enthalpy changes connected with chemical reactions, and b) The calculation of equilibrium compositions of reacting systems 3.1 Enthalpy of reaction The change of enthalpy caused by a reaction is called reaction enthalpy ∆HR This quantity can be calculated according to the following equation: N H R i H Fi i 1 ∆HFi is the enthalpy of formation of component i ∆HR < 0, the reaction is exothermic ∆HR > 0, the reaction is endothermic Mai Thanh Phong - HCMUT Chemical Reaction Engineering Apr 28, 2023 Chapter Introduction It is simple to calculate the reaction enthalpy at a certain standard state ∆HR0 from the corresponding standard enthalpies of formation ∆HFi0 The standard enthalpies of formation are available from databases for P = P0 = bar and T = T0 = 298 K For pure elements like C, H2, O2, : ∆HFi0 = The reaction enthalpy is a state variable Thus, a change depends only on the Initial and the end state of the reaction and does not dependent on the reaction parthway 3.2 Temperature and pressure dependence of reaction enthalpy H R H R d H R dP dT P T T P The pressure dependence is usually very small For ideal gas behaviour, the reaction enthalpy does not depend on pressure Mai Thanh Phong - HCMUT Chemical Reaction Engineering Apr 28, 2023 Chapter Introduction The correlation of reaction enthalpy and temperature is related to the isobaric heat capacities of all species involved in the considered reaction, cPi N T i 1 Pi T 298 K H R T H R0 i c T dT Assuming that the reactants and the products have different but temperature independent heat capacities, the temperarue dependence of the reaction enthalpy can be estimated as follows: H R T H R0 T T0 cP ,products cP ,reactants Mai Thanh Phong - HCMUT Chemical Reaction Engineering Apr 28, 2023 10 Chapter Introduction 3.3 Chemical equilibrium • Chemical reactions approach to an equilibrium, when the product and reactant concentrations not change anymore • A reacting system is in chemical equilibrium if the reaction rates of the forward and backward reactions are equal • The basic quantity required to indentify the equilibrium state is the Gibbs free enthalpy of reaction GR • The change of this quantity becomes zero when the equilibrium is reached (i.e dGR = 0) For constant pressure and temperature, the change of free Gibbs enthalpy of reaction can be described as follows: N dGR i i d i 1 Mai Thanh Phong - HCMUT or N dGR i i d T , P i 1 Chemical Reaction Engineering Apr 28, 2023 11 Chapter Introduction The equilibrium is reached when the free Gibbs enthalpy of reaction is minimum Thus, for the chemical equilibrium: dGR 0 d T , P Free Gibbs enthalpy In Figure 1-1 is shown the course of free Gibbs enthalpy of reaction as a function of the extent of reaction GR 0 T ,P Or dGR=0 (or in an integrated form: ∆GR = 0) Thus, the equilibrium is characterized by: N i 1 i i Mai Thanh Phong -
