Q #4. The gas-phase reaction between butadiene and ethylene to form cyclohexene can be written as follows: C$_4$H$_6$ + C$_2$H$_4$ $\rightarrow$ C$_6$H$_{10}$ (A) (B) (C) Feed consisting of equimolar amounts of each reactant enters a tubular flow reactor at 1 atm and at 450°C. Determine the space time needed to convert 10% of the feed for (i) isothermal, and (ii) adiabatic operation. Write equations describing exact solution for each case. Use estimates where appropriate. Data: k = 10$^{7.5}$ exp (-27,500/RT) lit/mol-sec $\Delta$H$_r$ = -30,000 cal/mol C$_{p_A}$ = 36.8 cal/mol-C C$_{p_B}$ = 20.2 cal/mol-C C$_{p_C}$ = 59.5 cal/mol-C
