A reactant, A, is polymerized by emulsion polymerization in the droplet phase (i.e., dispersed globules) of a plug flow reactor. Batch reactor experiments have provided the following overall rate expression for this reaction: -rA = k(CA)2 with k = 1 x10-3 dm3 /mol s . Pure A is fed to the reactor at a concentration of 1mol/dm3 . Determine the space time of the PFR that is necessary to achieve a conversion of 90%.

Problem 1 Consider the liquid phase reaction A à products accelerated by a homogeneous catalyst dissolved in the solution. The observed rate data follows the form: -r=k1Ca/(1+K2Ca+K3(Ca^2)) You are asked to recommend either a steady CSTR or steady PFR. Your reactor must reduce the feed composition of 0.6 mole/liter down to 0.3 mole/liter in the effluent. • Create a plot of ordinate 1/(-rA) vs. abscissa CA. Use the data below.
