Reaction Equilibrium - Gas Phase Conversion of Ethylene to Ethanol
Application ID: 62441
This app demonstrates the following:
- How an app can be used as a teaching tool
- An 8 question multiple choice quiz where the answers can be sent to the grader by email
This app calculates the equilibrium compositions in gas phase conversion of ethylene to ethanol. It allows you to study how the initial conditions and the operating conditions affect the ethanol production.
The app is designed to teach you how to compute quantitative results for the equilibrium composition and provide an understanding for the dynamics of a chemical equilibrium.
This application example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® and
- either the Chemical Reaction Engineering Module, or Electric Discharge Module and
- either the Battery Design Module, Chemical Reaction Engineering Module, Fuel Cell & Electrolyzer Module, or Liquid & Gas Properties Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
