CRE is the synthesis of all these factors with the aim of properly
designing and understanding the chemical reactor.
Chemical Process
Performance Equation
Chemical Reaction
• A detectable number of molecules have lost their identity and
assumed a new form by a change in the kind or number of atoms
in the compound and/or by a change in the atoms’ configuration
• Decomposition
• Combination
• Isomerization
• Rate of reaction
– How fast a number of moles of one chemical species are being
consumed to form another chemical species
Rate Law for rj
• rA: the rate of formation of species A per unit volume [e.g., mol/m3•s]
• -rA: the rate of a consumption of species A per unit volume
