Question

The elementary gas phase reaction A + B C is to be carried out isothermally in a continuous reactor. Reactants are entering with a stoichiometric proportions at 10 atm and 130°C molar flow rate of 20 mol/min. The exit conversion is 90%. The following data was collected from experimental work T, K kA (min-1) 360 5.38 368 8.35 376 12.73 385 16.34 395 21.23 410 28.61 425 33.81 Estimate the rate constant and the activation energy Calculate the required volume and space time for PFR Calculate the required volume and space time for CSTR Plot V=f(X,Y) for PFR assuming ?=0.0005 dm-3, what are the values of X and Y at V=500 dm3 Redo b, c, d if 85% of the equilibrium conversion is achieved assuming the reaction is reversible with Kc=360
