Study Notes
- Residence Time Distribution (RTD) is a probability density function illustrating the time different fluid fractions spend inside a reactor, characterizing the reactor vessel.
- RTD is independent of any reactions occurring.
How to Measure RTD
- Inert tracer is introduced into the reactor at t = 0.
- Tracer concentration in the effluent stream, C(t), is measured over time.
- Pulse and Step inputs are two tracer experiment types.
Pulse Input
- Involves injecting Nâ‚€ moles of tracer in one shot at t = 0.
- Effluent concentration C(t) is recorded.
- RTD, E(t) is defined as E(t) = C(t) / (∫₀^∞ C(t) dt) = C(t) / (N₀ / v) = (vC(t)) / N₀, where v equals volumetric flow rate.
- E(t)dt represents the effluent fraction dwelling in the reactor between times t and t + dt.
Step Input
- Tracer is injected at a constant rate beginning at t = 0.
- Effluent concentration C(t) is recorded.
- RTD, F(t), is defined as F(t) = C(t) / Cmax, where Cmax is the peak effluent tracer concentration.
- F(t) is the cumulative distribution function (CDF) describing residence times.
Properties of the RTD
Normalization
- ∫₀^∞ E(t) dt = 1, which represents the area under the RTD curve.
- lim(t→∞) F(t) = 1, meaning the area under the F curve goes to 1.
Mean Residence Time
- Defined as t_m = ∫₀^∞ t E(t) dt.
- For a closed vessel, t_m = Ï„ = V/v where V is the volume and v is the volumetric flow rate.
Variance
- Defined as σ² = ∫₀^∞ (t - t_m)² E(t) dt, measuring spread of distribution around the mean.
- Standard deviation (σ) is the square root of the variance.
Relationship Between E(t) and F(t)
- E(t) equals dF(t)/dt, meaning RTD is the derivative of the cumulative distribution function.
- F(t) equals ∫₀^t E(t) dt, meaning the distribution function is the integral of RTD.
RTD in Ideal Reactors
PFR
- All molecules spend same amount of time θ in the reactor.
- The RTD is E(t) = δ(t - θ).
- Mean residence time is t_m = θ = V/v.
- Variance is σ² = 0.
CSTR
- Molecules dwell in the reactor for varying lengths of time.
- The RTD is E(t) = (1/θ)e^(-t/θ).
- Mean residence time is t_m = θ = V/v.
- Variance is σ² = θ².
Diagnosing Reactor Problems with RTD
- RTD shape informs about flow patterns inside the reactor.
- Deviations from RTD can indicate dead volume, bypassing, channeling or poor mixing.
Models for Non-Ideal Reactors
- Segregation, Compartment, and Dispersion models are used.
