Material and Energy Balances in Reactors

This document presents a problem involving material and energy balances for a reactor system with 12 streams and 1 basis. It shows the equations for material balances, energy balance, and given relations. It then selects independent variables and writes the equations in terms of those variables. The document also includes MATLAB code to solve the equations and output the rate of heat removal per mole of NH3.

Q3)

a)

Number of stream variables 12+1 DF table:-


Number of independent material balance equations 5
Number of independent given compositions 1
Number of given relations 2
Number of energy balance equations 1
Number of given temperatures 3
basis 1
Degree of freedom 0

(DF = 0) therefore this problem is solvable.

Number of Independent unknowns in each stream table:-

Stream number 1 2 3 Reactor total


Independent unknown variables 1 0 5 1 7+1

Number of independent equations :-

Material balance equations = 5


Given relations =2

energy balance equations = 1

Total =8

(N==N2,,,O==O2,,,A==NH3,,,B==NO,,,W==H2O)

Selection of independent variables :-

(N3,O3,A3,B3,W3,R,Q)

Then we write the equations in terms of the selected independent variables:-

Material balance equations :

A:

A2-4*R-A3=0

B:

4*R-B3=0

O:

0.21*100-5*R-O3=0

W:

6*R-W3=0

N:

0.79*100-N3=0

ENERGY BALANCE EQUATION:

(basis temperature 25C was chosen)

∆H(25) =4 ∆H(NO) +6∆H(H2O) -4∆H(NH3) = -216.72

R*∆H(25) + ((920-25)*(CPA*A3+CPB*B3+CPW*W3+CPO*O3+CPN*N3)) –
((0.21*100*CPO+0.79*100*CPN)*(750-25)) – Q=0

Given Relation:

0.21*100-2.4*A2=0

A2-A3-0.9*A2=0
CODE:

f(2)=4*R-B3;
f(3)=21-5*R-O3;
f(4)=6*R-W3;
f(5)=79-N3;
f(6)=R*H25+((920-
Tref)*(CPA*A3+CPB*B3+CPW*W3+CPO*O3+CPN*N3))-

f(7)=A2-A3-0.9*A2;
f(8)=0.21*100-2.4*A2;
