6. The Rate Equation
Reactor Design & Analysis:A
reactor
A  P
A
P
Mass balance on reactor:
At steady state,
rate in -rate out + rate of formation -rate of consumption = 0
=0 for A(reaction is irreversible)
For A,
F
A, in-F
A, out-r
AV
reactor= 0
rate equation: r
A= (concentration, T)
The Two Goals of Chemical Kinetics:
1. Predict the reaction rate; obtain the rate equation.
Optimize reactor design.
Optimize reactor performance.
2. Devise the reaction mechanism; describe reactions at the molecular level.
The core of chemical engineering
Improve product selectivity.
Increase reaction rate.

7. Kinetics and Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics:The energy of a chemical system.
Predicts the equilibrium configuration at a given T.
The equilibrium configuration is independent of path.
The equilibrium configuration is a state function.
Kinetics: The rate a chemical system changes configuration.
The rate depends on the path.

8. Kinetics and Thermodynamics
Two stable states:
Example 1: The energy states of your textbook.

W
P.E. = mg(½H) P.E. = mg(½W)
energy
mg(½H)
vertical
mg(½W)
horizontal
The horizontal state
is lower energy than
the vertical state.
Why doesn’t the
book spontaneously
go to the lower
energy state?
Consider a path from
the vertical state to
the horizontal state.
