Question

Please show all work. Thank you.

We want to isomerize a species A to form B in liquid solution. The rate for this process is r1 = k1CA. However, A can also dimerize to form a worthless and unreactive species C with a rate r1 = k1C2 A. Calculate the yield of B in a CSTR and in a PFTR if 90% of A is reacted if CAo =2 molar, k2 =0.2 liter/mole min,and k1 =0.1min1.How might conditions be altered to improve the performance of a tubular reaction?
