Definition of conversion rate in the reaction
Thread Content
Hello everyone! In reactive distillation, the conversion rate of a certain reactant in the reaction is defined, and its conversion expression is given by Conv = A + B/T + C*LN(T) + D*T. For these four parameters A, B, C, and D, if I assume that the conversion rate is not affected by temperature, then only A needs to be specified. However, it seems that the value of A has no impact on the outcome of the reaction; values of 0 and 1 for A yield correct results, but when an intermediate value such as 0.5 is used, the calculation still shows a conversion rate of nearly 100%. I’m not sure why. If the same reaction and parameter definitions are used in the RStoic model, there is no problem
Has the poster defined a value for REACTION＞CONVERSION in the reactive distillation column? This will override your conversion expression formula
What is the value of REACTION > CONVERSION in a reactive distillation column? What is that value? How to define it? What does it mean? I never noticed it.
