Overview
What is chemical reaction engineering?
Chemical reaction engineering (CRE) is that engineeringactivity concerned with the exploitation of
on a . Its goal is thesuccessful and of chemical reactors,and probably more than any other activity, it setschemical engineering apart as a distinct branch of theengineering profession.

relates input to output
- how materials flow- how materials
contact each other- how early/late the
mixing occurs- how materials
aggregate
- how fast reactions will happen
- what materials will leave the reactor
- how heat and mass transfer affect the chemical reaction

=rank 2
Linearly independent reactions
• Rank of the stoichiometric matrix
• There are more columns (number of species) than rows (number of independent reactions)
Consider the oxidation of methane in which theobserved species are
It is desired to determine the largest number oflinearly independent valid chemical reactionsamong these species.

1. The CVD reactions are a simplified version of 120reactions that were originally postulated for thisreaction network.
2. Combustion chemistry: several hundred reactions.
3. Polymerizations and long-chain-producing reactions:thousands of species and associated reactions.
4. The stoichiometry of these complex problems isintractable if we do not develop a systematic,automated procedure.
HomeworkConsider the following set of chemical reactions
a. How many of thesereactions are linearlyindependent?
b. If all the reactionrates are equal to 1mol/s, calculate theproduction rates ofeach species.
