A first order, liquid-phase reaction A ?products, is conducted in a 2000 L CSTR. The feed contains pure A, at a rate of 300 L min-1 , with an inlet concentration of 4.0 mol L-1 . The following additional data are available:

cP = 3.5 J g-1 K-1;

? = 1.15 g cm-3 ;

?HRA = -50 kJ mol-1

(you can assume that these values are constants)

kA = A e-EA/RT = 2.4 x 1015e-12,000/T min-1 , with T in K

Determine the conversion and operating temperature, T, at steady-state based upon adiabatic operation if : (a) T0 = 290 K, (b) 298 K, (c) 305 K. Describe if steady states are stable or unstable.

A liquid-phase reaction A---> B is to be conducted in a CSTR at steady-state at 163°C. The temperature of the feed is 20°C, and 90% conversion of A is required. Determine the volume of a CSTR (L) to produce 130 kg of B per hour, and calculate the heat load (kW) for the process. Does this represent addition or removal of heat from the system? Data: cp,A = 2.0 J/g·K MW of A = 200 g/mol ? = 0.95 g/cm3...

Consider the CSTR with first order reaction and the process parameters and variables are given by: The process parameters and variables are defined as: CA0 = feed concentration = 2.7 mol/L. Cp = heat capacity of the reactor feed and product (1000 cal/kg*K) = Cv. E/R = normalized activation energy (20,000 K). F = mass feed rate and product rate (10 kg/s). k0 = rate constant (1.97×10^24 1/s). Q = heat addition rate (initially 700,000 cal/s). T0 = feed temperature...

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. Use sufficient resolution in your plot to get a smooth...
