Reactor Space Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Reactor Space Velocity = Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor/Reactor Volume
s_Reactor = v_o/V_reactor
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Reactor Space Velocity - (Measured in Hertz) - Reactor Space Velocity is a concept used in chemical reaction engineering to quantify the flow rate of reactants through a reactor relative to the reactor's volume.
Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor gives the volume of the reactants stream being fed to the reactor per unit time.
Reactor Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The Reactor Volume gives us the capacity of the reactor.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor: 9.8 Cubic Meter per Second --> 9.8 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Reactor Volume: 2.49 Cubic Meter --> 2.49 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

s_Reactor = v_o/V_reactor --> 9.8/2.49

Evaluating ... ...

s_Reactor = 3.93574297188755

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.93574297188755 Hertz -->3.93574297188755 Cycle per Second (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

3.93574297188755 ≈ 3.935743 Cycle per Second <-- Reactor Space Velocity

What is the Reactor Space Velocity?

The Reactor Space Velocity gives us the number of reactor volumes that can be treated per unit time. The Reactor Space Velocity is the inverse of reactor space time. This is the number of volumes of reactor that either completely enters or completely exits the reactor in a unit period of time.

What is Chemical Reaction Engineering?

Chemical reaction engineering is a specialty in chemical engineering or industrial chemistry dealing with chemical reactors. Frequently the term relates specifically to catalytic reaction systems where either a homogeneous or heterogeneous catalyst is present in the reactor. Sometimes a reactor per se is not present by itself, but rather is integrated into a process, for example in reactive separations vessels, retorts, certain fuel cells, and photocatalytic surfaces.

How to Calculate Reactor Space Velocity?

Reactor Space Velocity calculator uses Reactor Space Velocity = Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor/Reactor Volume to calculate the Reactor Space Velocity, The Reactor Space Velocity gives us the number of reactor volumes that can be treated per unit time. Reactor Space Velocity is denoted by s_Reactor symbol.
