SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the percentage conversion for Plug Flow Reactors (PFR) and Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTR) with fixed volumes, based on a graph plotted between 1/-r and X. The user encountered issues with the graph not being a perfect parabola and seeks guidance on finding the intervals without an equation. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in presenting data and the importance of showing preliminary work for effective assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of chemical reaction engineering concepts, specifically PFR and CSTR.
  • Proficiency in graphing techniques using Excel.
  • Familiarity with conversion calculations in reactor design.
  • Knowledge of reaction rate expressions and their graphical representations.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for calculating percentage conversion in PFR and CSTR.
  • Learn how to derive intervals from non-linear graphs without explicit equations.
  • Explore advanced graphing techniques in Excel for better data visualization.
  • Study the principles of reaction kinetics and their application in reactor design.
USEFUL FOR

Chemical engineering students, process engineers, and anyone involved in reactor design and optimization will benefit from this discussion.

The Quastion are giving me a graph ploted between 1/-r and X the graph if perfectly parabola but scale between % conversion are not equal. what sould i do if i asked to find the % conversion for PFR and CSTR which has fix volume.

if u don't clearly understand what I'm ask u may look up at http://www.engin.umich.edu/~cre/02chap/frames.htm .i have been plot the new graph by excel,it came out to be not a perfect parabola, now my problem is i don't really know how to find the inteval of the graph w/o eq. of that graph

Welcome to the PF. I've moved your thread to the Homework Help forums, where homework/coursework questions belong.

Please show us your work so far, so that we can offer tutorial assistance.
