Study Notes
Introduction to Process Engineering
- Process engineering involves converting raw materials into useful products
- It combines chemical and biological processes
- Chemical processes use raw materials (e.g. crude oil, natural gas, coal)
- High temperatures (up to 1300°C) and pressures are common
- Yields (amount of product) are often more important than selectivity (purity)
- Reactions are typically fast
- Heterogeneous catalysts (often metals) are common
- Biological processes use living organisms
- Reactions are sensitive to high temperatures
- Typically operate at ambient pressures
- Selectivity (purity) can be more important than the yield
Scope of Process Engineering
- Unit Operations: distillation, filtration, extraction, crystallization
- Chemical Reactors: larger heat effects, significant property changes, operating parameter sensitivity
- Process Engineering: encompasses inorganic and organic chemistry, physical chemistry, physics, and mathematics
- Flow and Conversion: process engineering is about moving things (flow) and transforming them (conversion)
Flow and Reaction
- Flow: how quickly and smoothly substances move through a reactor
- Kinetics: speed of reactions
- Equilibrium: balance of reactants and products
- Heat and Mass Transport: movement of heat and substances
- Reaction rates are affected by kinetics, flow, mixing, heating, and cooling
Classification of Products
- Value Product: the primary product of a reaction
- Co-Product: a useful by-product
- By-Product: a secondary product
- Reactions can be consecutive
Conversion, Yield, Selectivity
- Conversion: Measures the fraction of a limiting reactant consumed in a reaction
- Yield: indicates the amount of desired product formed compared to the limiting reactant
- Selectivity: measures how selectively a desired product is formed compared to other products. All products considered.
- These parameters are important in evaluating reaction performance
