2-Energy Balance Chapter 9 Felder
2-Energy Balance Chapter 9 Felder
4
The large internal energy & enthalpy
changes commonly associated with
chemical reactions can play major roles
in design & operation of chemical
processes. If a reaction is endothermic,
energy needed to keep reactor
temperature (& hence reaction rate)
from dropping too much may cost
enough to turn a profitable process into
an unprofitable one.
5
An energy balance on a reactor tells process
engineer how much heating or cooling
reactor requires in order to operate at
desired conditions. In this chapter we show
how enthalpy changes that accompany
chemical reactions are determined from
tabulated physical properties of reactants &
products & how calculated enthalpies of
reaction are incorporated in energy balances
on reactive processes

9.1 HEATS OF REACTION
Consider reaction between solid calcium
carbide & liquid water to form solid calcium
hydroxide & gaseous acetylene:
7
If stoichiometric quantities of
reactants are fed & reaction
proceeds to completion, both
reactants would be completely
consumed & stoichiometric
quantities of products would be
formed.
