STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Reactor Space Velocity = Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor/Reactor Volume
sReactor = vo/Vreactor
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Reactor Space Velocity - (Measured in Hertz) - Reactor Space Velocity is a concept used in chemical reaction engineering to quantify the flow rate of reactants through a reactor relative to the reactor's volume.
Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor gives the volume of the reactants stream being fed to the reactor per unit time.
Reactor Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The Reactor Volume gives us the capacity of the reactor.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor: 9.8 Cubic Meter per Second --> 9.8 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Reactor Volume: 2.49 Cubic Meter --> 2.49 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
sReactor = vo/Vreactor --> 9.8/2.49
Evaluating ... ...
sReactor = 3.93574297188755
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
3.93574297188755 Hertz -->3.93574297188755 Cycle per Second (Check conversion ​here)
FINAL ANSWER
3.93574297188755 3.935743 Cycle per Second <-- Reactor Space Velocity

Overall Fractional Yield
​ Go Overall Fractional Yield = Total Moles of Product Formed/(Initial Total Moles of Reactant-Total Moles of Unreacted Reactant)
Number of Moles of Reactant Reacted
​ Go Number of Moles of Reactant Reacted = Number of Moles of Product Formed/Instantaneous Fractional Yield
Number of Moles of Product Formed
​ Go Number of Moles of Product Formed = Number of Moles of Reactant Reacted*Instantaneous Fractional Yield
Instantaneous Fractional Yield
​ Go Instantaneous Fractional Yield = Number of Moles of Product Formed/Number of Moles of Reactant Reacted

Reactor Space Velocity Formula

Reactor Space Velocity = Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor/Reactor Volume
sReactor = vo/Vreactor

What is the Reactor Space Velocity?

The Reactor Space Velocity gives us the number of reactor volumes that can be treated per unit time. The Reactor Space Velocity is the inverse of reactor space time. This is the number of volumes of reactor that either completely enters or completely exits the reactor in a unit period of time.

What is Chemical Reaction Engineering?

Chemical reaction engineering is a specialty in chemical engineering or industrial chemistry dealing with chemical reactors. Frequently the term relates specifically to catalytic reaction systems where either a homogeneous or heterogeneous catalyst is present in the reactor. Sometimes a reactor per se is not present by itself, but rather is integrated into a process, for example in reactive separations vessels, retorts, certain fuel cells, and photocatalytic surfaces.

How to Calculate Reactor Space Velocity?

Reactor Space Velocity calculator uses Reactor Space Velocity = Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor/Reactor Volume to calculate the Reactor Space Velocity, The Reactor Space Velocity gives us the number of reactor volumes that can be treated per unit time. Reactor Space Velocity is denoted by sReactor symbol.
