Question

The elementary liquid phase reaction takes place in an adiabatic flow reactor.
? + ? → ?
An equimolar feed in A and B enters at 300K, and the volumetric flow rate is 2 dm3
/s and CA0= 100
mol/m3
.
a) Calculate the PFR and CSTR volumes to achieve 75 % conversion.
b) If the outlet temperature of the reactor is 550 K, for complete conversion, calculate the inlet temperature
of CSTR.
HA°(273 K) = - 20 kcal/mol, HB° (273 K) = - 20 kcal/mol, HP° (273 K) = -41 kcal/mol
CpA= CpB =15 cal/molK, CpC=30 cal/molK k=0.01 dm3
/mols at 300 K, E=10000 cal/mol
