Chemical Reaction Engineering
Chemical reaction engineering is at the heart of virtually every chemical process. It separates the chemical engineer from other engineers.
Let’s Begin CRE
Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) is the field that …..
• A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity.
Chemical Identity
• A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity.
1. Decomposition
Chemical Identity
• The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume.
Reaction Rate
Reaction Rate
Consider the isomerization AB
rA = the rate of formation of species A per unit volume
-rA = the rate of a disappearance of species A per unit volume
rB = the rate of formation of species B per unit volume
Reaction Rate
• EXAMPLE: AB If Species B is being formed at a rate of
0.2 moles per decimeter cubed per second, ie,
rB = 0.2 mole/dm3/s
Reaction Rate
• For a catalytic reaction, we refer to -rA',
which is the rate of disappearance of
species A on a per mass of catalyst basis.
(mol/gcat/s)
Reaction Rate
Consider species j:
• rj is the rate of formation of species j per unit volume [e.g. mol/dm3/s]

Homework 1: A 200-dm3 constant-volume batch reactor is pressurized to 20 atm with a mixture of 75% A and 25% inert. The gas-phase reaction is carried out isothermally at 227 C.
V = 200-dm3
P = 20 atmT = 227 C
a. Assuming that the ideal gas law is valid, how many moles of A are in the reactor initially? What is the initial concentration of A? b. If the reaction is first order:
Calculate the time necessary to consume 99% of A.c. If the reaction is second order:
Calculate the time to consume 80% of A. Also calculate the pressure in the reactor at this time if the temperature is 127 C.
