Quiz 2 - Model Formulation Lumped Parameters

This document contains instructions for a quiz on modeling and simulating a paracetamol production process. The production involves an exothermic reaction in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) with cooling coils. Students are asked to develop models over time to evaluate how the process changes considering the reactor setup, heat transfer, and outlet flowrate equations provided. The objective is to analyze the reactor and cooling system performance under the specified assumptions.

Quiz 2 (Submit before 11am 28 October 2020)

Paracetamol (acetaminophen), C8H9NO2, is produced via an elementary reaction at 310 K as


follows:

The management plan to upscale the production by using continuous reactor. Since the reaction
is highly exothermic, it is proposed that the process is to be done CSTR. The reaction mixture
is continuously stirred at a fixed rpm. The reactor is fitted with a cooling coil (with overall heat
transfer coefficient of UC and heat transfer area of AC) and using chilled water (assuming
temperature inside coil is same as temperature exiting the coil) to remove the exothermic heat
of reaction. The product stream flowrate is in function of liquid height in the reactor as
𝐹𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑡 = 𝛼√ℎ, with α is a constant. Develop models to evaluate the process over time by
clearly specifying the objective(s) and assumptions
