Question

The following parallel liquid-phase reactions are known to occur in a 0.3 m³ plug flow reactor:

Reaction 1: M + K --> P + 0.5 T with r_T = 0.50 C_M

Reaction 2: M + K --> 0.7 S + U with r_U = 0.21 C_M²

M and K are fed into the reactor in a single stream, and the initial concentrations of M and K (C_M0 and C_K0) are each 12 mol L^-1.  What is the overall yield of the desired compound T in the PFR in relation to the limiting reactant M, assuming that the conversion is 0.91 ?  

Answer 1

Hope this will be helpful

Overall yeild relation for PFR is used.
