If not entered, reaction rate does not depend on the component. September 1998 Reactor Modeling with Aspen Plus * RPlug: External Coolant Stream Can model reactor with co-current or counter-current coolant stream Counter-Current Calculates coolant inlet temperature Overrides specified inlet coolant temperature Use design spec to manipulate coolant exit temperature or vapor fraction to set inlet temperature Temperature cross-over allowed Use different physical property method for coolant RPlug: Reactions Can handle kinetic reactions Cannot handle equilibrium reactions Specify reactions using a Reaction Set ID on the Setup Reactions sheet RPlug: Residence Time The total residence time is calculated by integration. If the volumetric flow rate does not change: A no-slip condition is assumed when two phases exist. No liquid holdup is considered. Volume available to the reacting phase is determined using the weighted molar volume for the vapor and liquid at each integration interval. RPlug: User Routines User kinetics through the Reaction Set ID Calculate the reaction rates for each component Heat Tran
