Two feeds are provided in the reactor: the first is for the reactant and
the second is for nitrogen sweeping.
Reactor characteristics are:
-Hemispherical vessel of 3m3 volume, 1400 mm diameter
-3 blades impeller of 1120 mm diameter located at 300 mm from the
bottom and rotating at 90 RPM.
-Baffled jacket 50 mm thick and 1366 mm high
-Wall thickness is 17 mm with a thermal conductivity of 15,3 W/m/K.
-Reactor weight is 800 kg with a specific heat of 500 J/Kg/K
-Utility fluid is steam at 6 bars and 200 kg/h or cooling water at 25C
and normal flowrate of 4 000 kg/h. Heat transfer coefficients will

The second stage has an exchange area of 0,5 m2 and a global heat
transfer coefficient is 300 kcal/h m2 C. The service fluid is at -15C
with a flowrate of 100 Kg/h. Its specific heat is 0,7933 cal/g/K at -
15C.
