Isothermal CSTR Heat Exchanger Rating Models for Acetic Acid Production using Homogeneous Catalysed Reaction
Abstract
This work deals with the development of design models for heat exchanger rating in homogeneous
catalytic acetic acid production at isothermal condition exploiting the derived continuous stirred tank
reactor heat generation per unit volume equations at constant temperature. Coil in tank heat
exchanger is invoked for this study resulting to novel design equations which were stochastically
examined and found to be capable of simulating the rating performance dimensions as a function of
kinetic parameters. The rating performance models were further generalized to inculcate fractional
conversion functionality. The novel design models were simulated to evaluate the overall heat transfer
coefficient, mass flow rate of cooling fluid using MATLAB R2007B within the operational limits of
conversion degree at constant temperature. The heat exchanger is used for the removal of heat
generated per reactor unit volume utilizing water as cooling fluid which enters the coil at 25oC
flowing through the coil and exit at a temperature of 85oC in order to maintain 97oC isothermal
condition. The results of the rating dimensions showed a dependable relationship with fractional
conversion at constant temperature for various reactor radii and number of coils.
