Does an intermittent reactor need optimization?
Thread Content
I am currently carrying out a reaction using rosin and ethylene glycol in a batch reactor, at a temperature of 140 degrees Celsius for a duration of 5 hours. I’m not sure what aspects should be optimized using ASPEN simulation; I would appreciate some advice from those with experience in this area. Thank you!
I suggest the original poster take a look at the Chemical Process Design Manual, particularly the section on batch reactor design; it might be useful to you. Another one is Chen Gantang’s book \"Chemical Reaction Engineering\". With optimization, you’ll know where to start.
It is best to have reaction kinetics equations in order to enable Rational Design. By defining clear objectives and identifying the key factors, things become much easier
Are there any examples? After finishing LZ, you can post your experience thread
I’m still learning *; do anyone have any other good suggestions?
