The reaction is assumed to be irreversible and of first order. As shown in figure 3, the feed enters
the reactor with volumetric rate Ff (m3/s), density f (kg/m3) and concentration CAf (mole/m3). The
output comes out of the reactor at volumetric rate Fo, density 0 and concentration CAo (mole/m3)
and CBo (mole/m3). We assume isothermal conditions.

taking place in perfectly mixed vessel sketched in figure 4. The influent to the vessel has
volumetric rate Ff (m3/s), density f (kg/m3), and mole fraction yf. Product comes out of the
reactor with volumetric rate Fo, density o, and mole fraction yo. The temperature and volume
inside the vessel are constant. The reactor effluent passes through control valve which regulate
the gas pressure at constant pressure Pg.
Total enthalpy for the system is given as: H = NL HL + Nv Hv where HL and Hv are molar
enthalpies in the liquid and vapor phases respectively, and NL and Nv are their
corresponding molar holdups.
An equilibrium relationship exists between the weight fraction YA of the solute in the
solvent (S) and its weight fraction XA in the mixture (W). The relationship can be of the
form:
YA = K XA
be carried out on microscopic scale. We consider therefore a shell element of width z and
constant cross section area (A) as shown in figure 14.
significant. In addition, the rod diameter is assumed to be large enough such that thermal
distribution in radial direction is not to be neglected. The system is depicted by figure 17. For
modeling we take an annular ring of width z and radius r as shown in the figure. The
following transport equation can be written:
around an element of the tubular reactor, as shown in figure 19. The following assumptions are
made for the energy balance:
direction z, radial direction r and time t. To simplify the problem we will assume that there are no
change in the radial direction. This assumption is valid if the radius is small and no large amount
of heat is transferred. The heat transfer from the steam to the liquid depends on the heat transfer
coefficient on the steam side, hto and on the transfer on the liquid side hti. We also neglect the
thermal capacity of the metal wall separating the steam and the liquid and assume that the
exchange between the steam and liquid occurs with an overall heat transfer coefficient U. We
also assume constant heat capacity for the liquid.

Consider the binary absorption tower shown in Figure 20. A liquid stream flow downward with
molar flow rate L and feed composition (XAf). Vapor stream flows upward with molar flow rate
(G) and feed composition (YAf). A simple vapor-liquid equilibrium relation of the form of:
YA = HXA
is used, where H (mole fraction gas/mole fraction liquid) is the Henry's law constant. This
assumption is valid for dilute streams. The molar rates can be considered constants, i.e. not
changing from one stage to another, thus the total mass balance need not be written. To establish
the model equations we need to write equations for liquid and vapor phase. To simplify the
problem we assume constant liquid and vapor holdup in each stage. We also assume isothermal
conditions. An energy balance therefore is not needed.
