|-
||00:01
|| Welcome to this tutorial on Simulating a '''PFR '''using '''Heterogeneous Catalytic Reaction '''in''' DWSIM.'''

|-
|| 00:09
|| In this tutorial, we will learn to:

Define a '''Heterogeneous Catalytic''' reaction

|-
|| 00:15
|| Define parameters for '''Plug Flow Reactor '''required to simulate a '''HCR'''

|-
|| 00:21
|| Calculate '''Conversion''' and '''Residence time''' for '''HCR''' in a '''PFR'''

|-
|| 00:27
|| To record this tutorial, I am using

'''DWSIM 5.6 (Classic UI) Update 8 '''and '''Windows 10'''

|-
|| 00:37
||The process demonstrated in this tutorial is identical in other OS also such as-

'''Ubuntu Linux''', '''Mac OS X''' or '''FOSSEE OS''' on '''ARM'''.

|-
|| 00:48
|| To practice this tutorial, you should know to-

add components to a '''flowsheet''', select '''thermodynamic''' packages, add '''material''' and '''energy''' streams and specify their properties.

|-
|| 01:02
|| The prerequisite tutorials are available on this website'''.'''

|-
|| 01:07
||You can access these tutorials and all the associated files from this site.
|-
|| 01:13
|| We will develop a flowsheet to determine the exit composition from an Isothermal '''PFR '''with '''Heterogeneous Catalytic Reaction'''.

|-
|| 01:21
||Here we give '''Inlet stream conditions''', '''Property package''' and '''Reactor Parameters.'''

|-
|| 01:27
|| Next, we give the '''Catalyst properties''' and '''Gas constant.'''
|-
||01:32

|| Now we give the '''reaction rate''' and its '''coefficients'''.

|-
||01:37
|| Here we give the '''reaction rate''' '''coefficients'''.
|-
|| 01:41
|| Before we start the '''simulation''', we will simplify the '''rate expression'''.
|-
|| 01:46
|| We will substitute the coefficients in the '''rate''' for the numerator and denominator separately.

|-
|| 01:53
||This will be helpful when we have to enter the reaction '''rate''' for '''Heterogeneous Catalytic reaction'''.
|-
|| 02:00
|| In the rate expression, we will assign the variables for partial pressure of '''reactants''' and '''products'''.
|-
|| 02:07
|| '''R''' corresponds to '''reactants.'''

|-
|| 02:10
||Partial pressure of '''Methane''' is '''R1''' and '''Water''' is '''R2'''.

|-
|| 02:16
||'''P''' corresponds to '''products'''.

|-
|| 02:19
||So the partial pressure of '''Hydrogen''' is '''P1''' and '''Carbon monoxide(CO)''' is '''P2'''.
|-
|| 02:26
|| The numerator term in the '''rate expression''' is this.

|-
|| 02:31
||Substituting the values of small '''k1''', capital '''K1''' and '''partial pressure''' terms, the numerator becomes like this.
|-
|| 02:40
|| The denominator term in the '''rate expression''' is this.

|-
|| 02:45
||Substituting the values of '''rate coefficients''' and '''partial pressure''' terms, the denominator becomes like this.
|-
|| 02:54
|| We have simplified the '''rate expression''' to be entered in '''DWSIM'''.

Now we will start the simulation.
|-
||03:02
|| I have already opened '''DWSIM'''.

|-
|| 03:07
||Go to '''File''' menu and select '''New Steady-state Simulation.'''
|-
|| 03:12
|| '''Simulation Configuration Wizard''' window appears.
|-
|| 03:16
|| Click on '''Next '''button at the bottom.
|-
|| 03:20
|| First, we will add the compounds.
|-
|| 03:23
|| In the '''Compounds Search '''tab, type '''Methane.'''

|-
|| 03:27
||Select '''Methane '''from '''ChemSep database'''.
|-
|| 03:31
|| Next, add '''Water''' from '''ChemSep database'''.
|-
|| 03:36
|| Then, add '''Hydrogen''' from '''ChemSep database'''.
|-
|| 03:41
|| Next, add '''Carbon monoxide''' from '''ChemSep database'''.
|-
|| 03:46
|| Next, add '''Carbon dioxide''' from '''ChemSep database'''.

Now, all the compounds are added.
|-
|| 03:54
|| Click on '''Next''' button at the bottom.
|-
|| 03:58
|| Now comes '''Property Packages.'''
|-
|| 04:01
|| From '''Available Property Packages''' list, double-click on '''Peng-Robinson (PR) '''option.
|-
|| 04:07
|| Then click on the '''Next '''button at the bottom.
|-
|| 04:11
|| Next option is '''System of Units.'''
|-
|| 04:15
|| Under '''System of Units, '''we will select '''C5'''.
|-
|| 04:20
|| Then at the bottom, click on the '''Finish '''button.
|-
|| 04:24
|| Let us maximize the '''simulation''' window.
|-
|| 04:27
|| Now let's insert a feed stream that enters the '''Reactor'''.
|-
|| 04:32
|| At the bottom of the main '''simulation''' window, go to '''Streams.'''
|-
|| 04:36
|| From the displayed list, drag and drop a '''Material Stream '''to the '''Flowsheet'''.
|-
|| 04:41
|| Click on the '''material stream''' named '''MSTR-000.'''
|-
|| 04:47
|| Let’s change the name of this '''stream''' to '''Feed.'''
|-
|| 04:51
|| Now we will specify the '''Feed stream''' properties.
|-
||04:56
|| Go to '''Input Data.'''

Under '''Stream Conditions tab''', select '''Flash Spec''' as '''Temperature and Pressure (TP),''' if not already selected.
|-
|| 05:06
|| By default, '''Temperature '''and''' Pressure '''are already selected as '''Flash Spec.'''
|-
|| 05:12
|| Change '''Temperature''' to '''730 degree Centigrade''' and press '''Enter.'''
|-
|| 05:18
|| Change '''Pressure''' to '''1.01325 bar''' and press '''Enter.'''
|-
|| 05:25
|| Change '''Mass Flow''' to '''300 kg per hour''' and press '''Enter.'''
|-
|| 05:31
|| Now let us specify the '''Feed stream''' compositions.

|-
|| 05:36
||For this under '''Input Data''' click on '''Compound Amounts''' tab.
|-
|| 05:41
|| Choose the '''Basis''' as '''Mole Fractions''', if not already selected.

|-
|| 05:46
||By default, '''Mole Fractions''' is already selected as '''Basis.'''
|-
|| 05:51
|| Now for '''Methane''', enter the '''Amount''' as '''0.4975''' and press '''Enter.'''
|-
|| 05:59
|| For '''Water, '''enter '''0.4975''' and press '''Enter'''.
|-
|| 06:06
|| For '''Hydrogen, '''enter '''0.005''' and press '''Enter'''.
|-
|| 06:12
|| For '''Carbon monoxide, '''enter '''0''' and press '''Enter'''.
|-
||06:17
|| For '''Carbon dioxide''',''' '''enter '''0''' and press '''Enter'''.
|-
|| 06:22
|| On the right, click on the '''Accept Changes''' button.
|-
|| 06:26
|| Now we will define the '''Heterogeneous Catalytic Reaction.'''
|-
|| 06:30
|| Under '''Tools''', click on '''Reactions Manager'''.

'''Chemical Reactions Manager''' window opens.
|-
|| 06:39
|| Under '''Chemical Reactions''' tab, click on the green coloured '''Add Reaction''' button.
|-
|| 06:45

|-
|| 07:20
|| Third column corresponds to its '''Heat of Formation.'''
|-
|| 07:24
|| Next column is '''Include.'''

Under '''Include''', check the check boxes against '''Methane''', '''Water''', '''Hydrogen''' and '''Carbon monoxide'''.
|-
|| 07:38
|| '''Carbon dioxide''' doesn’t take part in this reaction.

We will keep it unchecked.
|-
|| 07:45
|| Fourth column is '''BC.'''

|-
|| 07:48
||Under '''BC''', check the '''Methane''' check box as '''Methane '''is the base component.
|-
|| 07:54
|| Next column is '''SC (stoichiometric coefficient)'''
|-
|| 07:59
|| Under '''SC''' column, enter '''-1''' for '''Methane''', '''-1''' for '''Water''', '''3 '''for''' Hydrogen''', '''1''' for '''Carbon monoxide''', '''0''' for '''Carbon dioxide'''

Then press '''Enter'''.
|-
|| 08:18
|| In the '''Stoichiometry '''field, we can see it is showing '''OK'''.
|-
|| 08:23

|| Next part is '''Heterogeneous Kinetic Reaction Parameters.'''
|-
|| 08:32
|| Select '''Basis''' as '''Partial Pressures.'''
|-
|| 08:36
|| Select '''Phase''' as '''Vapor.'''
|-
|| 08:40
|| We will leave '''Tmin''' and '''Tmax''' field as unchanged.
|-
|| 08:46
|| Now we will specify the '''reaction rate'''.
|-
|| 08:50
|| Go to '''Reaction Rate = Numerator upon Denominator.'''
|-
|| 08:56
|| The '''reaction rate''' is to be entered separately as '''Numerator''' and '''Denominator.'''

|-
|| 09:01
||We have already simplified the '''Numerator''' and '''Denominator''' part separately.
|-
|| 09:07
|| We will enter the '''Numerator''' part first.

Type the equation as shown here.
|-
|| 09:16
|| Now we will enter the '''Denominator''' part.

Type the equation as shown here.
|-
|| 09:23
|| Now we will specify the units for '''Amount''' and '''Velocity'''.
|-
|| 09:29
|| Select '''Amount Unit''' as '''atmosphere''' from the drop-down.

|-
|| 09:35
||The '''Reaction Rate '''is expressed in terms of '''Partial Pressure, '''whose unit is '''atmosphere.'''
|-
|| 09:42
|| From the drop-down select '''Velocity Unit''' as '''kmol per kg hour.'''

This is the unit for the '''Reaction Rate'''.
|-
|| 09:52
|| Click on the '''OK''' button at the bottom.
|-
|| 09:56
|| Now go to the '''Flowsheet''' area.
|-
|| 09:59
|| We will use a '''Plug Flow Reactor''' for the simulation.
|-
|| 10:03
|| At the bottom of the main '''simulation''' window, go to '''Reactors '''tab.
|-
|| 10:08
|| Drag and drop a '''Plug-Flow Reactor(PFR)''' to the flowsheet area.
|-
|| 10:12
|| Let us arrange it as required.
|-
|| 10:15
|| And then let us insert one '''Output Stream'''.
|-
|| 10:19
|| To do that let us drag one '''Material Stream.'''
|-
|| 10:24
|| Let us once again arrange it in the '''flowsheet'''.
|-
|| 10:28
|| Leave that '''stream''' as unspecified.
|-
|| 10:32
|| We will change the name of this '''stream''' to '''Product.'''
|-
|| 10:37
|| Let us now insert one '''Energy Stream.'''
