The reversible first-order gas reaction ??? is to be carried out in a mixed flow reactor. For operations at 300 K the volume of reactor required is 100 liters for 60% conversion of A. 4.1. What is the value of the reverse rate constant at 300K? 4.2. What is the equilibrium conversion at 300 K? 4.3. What is the equilibrium conversion at 400 K? 4.4. What should be the volume of the reactor for the same feed rate and conversion but with operations at 400 K? 4.5. How much heat must be removed from the reactor in question 4.1 in order for it to be isothermal? Data: The forward rate constant k1= 103 exp(-2416/T) ?Cp = CPR - CpA = 0 ?Hrxn = -8000 cal/mol at 300 K Keq = 10 at 300 K Feed consists of pure A Total pressure stays constant
