    Molar Flowrates, KG-MOL/HR: Comp No. Component Total Vapor 1 H2 2 Toluene 3 Benzene 4 Methane

    This document contains information about several problems involving vapor-liquid equilibrium calculations using different thermodynamic models. Problem 1 and 2 provide component flow rates for product and recycle streams using the SRK model. Problem 3 shows the ideal model produced no vapor, while the Peng-Robinson model outputs component flow rates. Problem 4 calculates a reactor volume from rate equations. Problem 5 analyzes differences between the ideal model from problem 5 and the more realistic model, noting extreme temperature and pressure conditions were likely not accounted for previously.

    For the ideal thermodynamic package, no vapor stream was produced, so the data
    is completely useless. The results from the Peng-Robinson are posted below.

    One thing to note is there is much methane in the liquid stream using this package.
    Note: The PFD for problems 1 and 2 has been with the extents being .5. Initially, the extents
    were .63, .47, and .36, respectively.

    Problem 4:

    From Arrhenius Equation, the rate constant k=5.37E-5 l/gmol*s for a CTSR
    Solving for V with the equation: (We know R=.148, Q r=1.48 l/s)
    5(11.48)-V*k*(1.882)=11.48*1.88
    V=943 m3
    This seems like an awfully big tank though.

    Problem 5 (Analysis):
    The ideal system from assignment 5 has a final concentration of .64, while
    our solution with this more realistic model has a final concentration of benzene
    product of .0249. This numbers are quite different. Our system did not converge,
    but if I read the results of the program correctly, we were at least close to a
    converging point with regard to the errors. One of the issues that could of caused
    this error was the extreme conditions the hydrogealkyation process. Temperatures
    must be around 600 degrees Celsius and pressures must be with 40-60 atm. It is
    very possible the conditions of the ideal system in problem 5 did not account for
    this, and this can be shown in the calculation of the rate constant k done for our
    simulation above. In addition, an error in the flash separator unit specifications due
    to lack of knowledge about the process may very well have led to this divergence in
    results.
