how u doing ?
first of all i'd like to thank u all if u r reading my topic
so here we r
i want to simulate a plug flow reactor on hysys carring the following reaction
Co + CH3OH --------> CH3OOCH
Carbon monoxide + Methanol ------> Methyle Formate
this reaction can be in equilibrium depending on the operation condition
but we want to run this reactor far a way from equilibrium to produce Methyle Formate as much as we can
the temperature of this reactor range between 60-100
and another range can be used 110-140
the pressure range between 25-65 bar
the catalyst used is potassium methoxide
the rate of forward reaction is given by this equation
the rate of backward reaction is given by this equation ....the part highlighted with red color
now for forward reaction A equal to >>>4.61E9
and activation energy can be calculated from this value 8133
by multply it by R=0.008314
activation energy would be 67.451 Kj per mol
for backward reactin
A=1.19E19
activation Energy = 139.57 Kj per mol
now i have used a catalytic reaction and i fed all this data to hysys
but the problem is
no production .....
pls have a look on the hysys file in the attachment
and help me on this
the reactor is running but there is no products
pls help me
thank u all
