Question

The elementary irreversible organic liquid-phase reaction, A + B → C, is carried out in a flow reactor. An equal molar feed in A and B enters at 27 oC, and the volumetric flow rate is 2 L/s. The feed concentration is CA0 = 0.1 mol/L. a) Calculate the PFR and CSTR volumes necessary to achieve 85% conversion when the reaction is carried out adiabatically. b) What is the maximum inlet temperature one could have so that the boiling point of the liquid (550 K) would not be exceeded even for complete conversion? Additional information: ΔĤR0 = −6 kcal/mol.A, ĉP,A = ĉP,B = 15 cal/mol-K, ĉP,C = 30 cal/mol-K, k = 0.01 L/mol-s at 300 K , E* = 10 kcal/mol Can you please solve the answer in an excel and not in the polymath and which will be easy to understand?
