The document describes a group project to model the vapor-phase cracking of acetone to ketene and methane using Aspen Plus software. The reaction is first-order with respect to acetone. The task is to design a reactor that will achieve 20% conversion of 7850 kg/hr of acetone feed at 1035K and 1.6 atm. The students modeled the reaction using a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) and determined that a CSTR volume of 2.6 m length and 1 m diameter would achieve the desired 20% conversion.

1. In a treatment of the design of an acetic anhydride manufacturing facility, states that one of the key steps is the vapor-phase cracking of acetone to ketene and methane: CH3COCH3 CH2CO + CH4 He states further that this reaction is first-order with respect to acetone and that the specific reaction rate can be expressed by ln k = 34.34 - 34,222/T where k is in reciprocal seconds and T is in Kelvin. In this design, it is desired to feed 7850 kg of acetone per hour to a tubular reactor. If the reactor is adiabatic, the feed pure acetone, the inlet temperature 1035K, and the pressure 162 kPa (1.6 atm), a tubular reactor of what volume is required for 20% conversion? Answer: Open Aspen Plus Select NEW
Select “Blank Simulation”, and then select CREATE
Under Component Name type the following in a column: ACETONE, KETENE, METHANE
Under Comp ID type in any id names for the above components: A, K, M
Click Next From the Property method pull-down menu select Peng-Rob
Click Next, and select “Go to simulation environment”
At the MANIPULATOR section, choose DUPL
At the REACTORS section, choose RPLUG

4 = OUTPUT PFR 5= OUTPUT CSTR Result for Plug Flow Reactor
Result for CSTR
Balancing between PFR and CSTR
So, we are prefer to use the CSTR reactor for this case.
