This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Space Time - (Measured in Second) - Space Time is the time necessary to process volume of reactor fluid at the entrance conditions. This is the time taken by the amount of fluid to either completely enter or completely exit the reactor.
Recycle Ratio - Recycle Ratio is defined as volume of feed, returned to the reactor entrance divided by the volume of the leaving streams.
Initial Reactant Concentration - (Measured in Mole per Cubic Meter) - The Initial Reactant Concentration refers to the amount of reactant present in the solvent before the considered process.
Final Reactant Concentration - (Measured in Mole per Cubic Meter) - Final Reactant Concentration refers to the amount of reactant present in solution after the considered process.
Rate Constant for Second Order Reaction - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Mole Second) - The Rate Constant for Second Order Reaction is defined as the average rate of the reaction per concentration of the reactant having power raised to 2.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Recycle Ratio: 0.3 --> No Conversion Required
Initial Reactant Concentration: 80 Mole per Cubic Meter --> 80 Mole per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Final Reactant Concentration: 20 Mole per Cubic Meter --> 20 Mole per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Rate Constant for Second Order Reaction: 0.062 Cubic Meter per Mole Second --> 0.062 Cubic Meter per Mole Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
𝛕 = ((R+1)*Co*(Co-Cf))/(Co*k''*Cf*(Co+(R*Cf))) --> ((0.3+1)*80*(80-20))/(80*0.062*20*(80+(0.3*20)))

What is recycle in chemical engineering?

The essentials of the recycling method are that the mixture of both reacted and unreacted products reaches a separating system beyond the reactor where these products are separated from each other; then the unreacted part mixes with the fresh feed stock and the resulting mixture is passed into the reactor.

Why is chemical recycling important?

Chemical recycling could reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills, thereby potentially reducing the release of harmful chemicals into the environment. Chemical recycling can also produce high-quality raw materials, thereby decreasing demand for fossil fuels and other natural resources.
