Question

The elementary gas-phase reaction (CH3)3COOH(CH3)3 → C2H6 + 2CH3COCH3 is carried out isothermally in a flow reactor with no pressure drop. The specific reaction rate at 50 °C is 10^4 min^-1 and the activation energy is 85 kJ/mol. Pure di-tert-butyl peroxide enters the reactor at 10 atm and 127 °C with a molar flow rate of 2.5 mol/min. Calculate the reactor volume and space time to achieve 90% conversion in: a. a PFR (ans. 967 dm^3) b. a CSTR (ans. 4700 dm^3) c. Pressure drop. Plot X, y, as a function of the PFR volume when a = 0.001 dm^-3. What are X and y at V = 500 dm^3?
