Reactor design calculation
Thread Content
If the effective volume of the reactor is known to be 0.5 m3, and the height-to-diameter ratio of the reactor is 3:1, those who are familiar with reactor design, please help calculate what the actual dimensions of the reactor should be Based on the effective volume, the dimensions I calculated are: a diameter of 600 mm and a height of 1800 mm, but I think that’s not quite right. I hope experts can offer some guidance
Is a catalyst required for this reaction? If a catalyst is needed, the amount to be used should be 0.5 m3
What type of reactor is it? Batch type? Fluidized bed? Tower type? Fixed bed? It seems a bit difficult to carry out calculations without determining the type first
Choose a loading factor, and then find a manufacturer.
I calculated it and it’s more or less the same: a diameter of 623 mm and a height of 1810 mm
1# yhl550: I believe that both 0.5 m3 and the height-to-diameter ratio refer to the catalyst. Φ600 represents the inner diameter of the reactor, while 1.8 meters is the height of the catalyst. When designing a vertical reactor, it is also necessary to take into account the access ports for loading and removing the catalyst. The vertical height of the reactor’s walls is approximately 3.5 meters
