Batch Reactor - Chemical Engineering Review for PE Examination

If a reaction is conducted in a batch reactor, then time, required to achieve conversion X_A, can be found as

A reaction proceeds in a reactor operated under constant pressure conditions.

For a constant volume case, ε = 0

Module for calculation of time required to achieve a conversion when reaction is conducted under constant pressure or volume conditions.:

Concentration of the Limiting Reactant, A, C_Ao =		moles/liter
Stoichiometric Coefficient of Reactant B, b =
Ratio of C_Bo and b·C_Ao, M =
Conversion, x =
Fractional volume change, ε =
Reaction Rate constant, k =		(liters/moles)^n-1·second
