Chemical Engineering: Sequential batch Reaction
2011.3.11
Lecture note of Dr. Hiroshi Yamamoto
The first HTML5+CSS+JavaScript example is Sequential batch Reaction.
The most simple Sequential batch Reaction can write like below.
A->B, r1=k1Ca
B->C, r2=k2Cb
K is reaction constant, C is concentration.
The differential equation become like below.
dCa/dt = -k1Ca
dCb/dt =k1Ca - k2Cb
dCc/dt = k2Cb
And make JavaScript program to solve this equation using Euler method.
I made this program using DashCode (Mac IDE for Dashboard) .(2008.Feb.) And run only Mac or iPod Toutch. But the program itself is HTML+CSS+JavaScript. And can easily extract the contents.
This program will run Safari, Mobile Safari, Chrome, Firefox (for Mac). I am not sure Windows browser, but except IE it may work.
Red line mean decreasing A concentration with time. As decreasing A, product B (Green line) increase. But B will convert to C (Blue line), so B will decrease at certain point. If you want to C product, it is easiy, but if you want to B product, you need stop at top of the curve. Or you need search experimental condition, such as temperature, pressure, pH that decease K2. Then as second picture, you will get better yield of B product. Please change K1, K2 and try.
K1=K2=0.05
K1=0.05, k2=0.005
K1=0.05, K2=0.5
This is the very good example for HTML5 Canvas.
