Step 1

42 * [A]^2 Since the feed is pure A and the inlet concentration is 1 mol/L, we can substitute [A] = 1 mol/L into the equation: r = 0.42 * (1)^2 r = 0.42 mol/L.h The reaction rate is equal to the outlet flow rate of C, which is given as 18 mol/h. Show more…

Consider the following liquid-phase reaction taking place in a CSTR reactor: A -> 2C + D. Given that the feed is pure A, the inlet concentration of the feed is 1 mol/L. The rate constant (k) is 0.42 L.mol^-1.h^-1. The reaction is second order in A. The inlet volumetric flow rate is 10 L/h. The outlet flow rate of C is 18 mol. Calculate the following: a) Outlet concentration of A. b) Outlet flow rate of A and D. c) Reactor volume.
