Task # 3

the first order reaction A → B, with –rA = kCA, takes place in a liquid phase in a CSTR reactor witha volume of 10 l. The velocity constant k equals 2.5 min-1

CA=0.0672 mol/L

3.2

There is an operating accident where the feed flow with A is interrupted and the concentration of A drops to 0 inreactor. How long will it take for the feed to resume (ν0 = 0.12 l / s, CA0 = 0.3mol / l) before a steady state is obtained, i.e. the concentration A in the reactor is equal to thatfor the stationary state.
