About this document

Ethane Decomposition Reactor Volume Calculation by Samuel Armawan Sandi is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document summarizes the calculation of the volume of a plug flow reactor needed to achieve 65% conversion of ethane to ethylene. It is given that the reaction is second order with a rate constant of 0.534 L/mol/s at 7500C and 101 kPa. Using the conversion equation for a second order reaction and plug flow reactor, the outlet concentration is calculated to be 3.4775 mol/L. The volume of the reactor is then calculated as 2.835 L using the inlet flow rate and outlet concentration.
