Question

A homogeneous liquid phase reaction with the given stoichiometry and kinetics A→S, -rA=kCA^2, takes place with 50% conversion in a mixed flow reactor. Find the conversion if this reactor is replaced by another mixed flow reactor having a volume 6 times that of the original reactor - all else remains unchanged. Find the conversion if the original reactor is replaced by a plug flow of the same size - all else remains unchanged.

Step 1

This is a second order reaction. For a mixed flow reactor (also known as a continuous stirred-tank reactor or CSTR), the conversion X is given by the equation: X = 1 - (1 / (1 + kτCA0)) where τ is the residence time (which is equal to the volume of the reactor Show more…
