Engenharia da Reação Química II

This course consists of two parts: ANALYSIS OF NON-IDEAL REACTORS and HETEROGENEOUS CATALYTIC REACTORS. With the first part is intended to provide students with the tools needed to evaluate the deviation from ideality, either through the diagnosis of the causes either through mathematical models predicting the behavior of the real reactor. In the second part it is intended that on the end of the course students are able to determine the amount of catalyst and the reactor volume necessary for a given conversion. In particular it will be dealt with fixed-bed, moving bed and monolithic reactors operating under kinetic or diffusion control, either externally or internally. Special attention is given to the deduction of rate law from the mechanisms of Langmuir-Hinshelwood and Eley-Rideal, the calculation of the mass transfer coefficient, for the case of external diffusion regime, and the determination of Thiele modulus and effectiveness factor, in the case of internal diffusion regime.
