Chemical Engineering DepartmentCDB 2043 REACTION ENGINEERINGCHAPTER 5: Collection and Analysis of Rate Data1
Failing to plan is planning to fail-Effie Jones-
At the end of the chapter, student should be able to apply the concept of CRE algorithm in solving design problems related to:1. Determine the reaction order and specific reaction rate from experimental data 2. Decide the most suitable type of analysis technique for a particular problem 2

1. Guess reaction order, integrate mole balance equation.2. Calculate the resulting function in term of concentration data, and plot f(C) vs t3. If the plot is linear, then you have guessed the correct reaction order.4. Otherwise, guess another order and repeat the procedure.14
