Question

The irreversible gas phase reaction; 2A + B ? C + D is first order in A and B. The reaction is carried out isothermally at 727°C and at a pressure of 20 atm. The feed consists of 41% A, 41% B and 18% D. The rate constant is given as 0.01 l/g.s at reaction temperature. Calculate; a) The volume of a PF reactor necessary to achieve 75% conversion at a volumetric flowrate of 50 l/min. b) The volume of CSTR reactor necessary to achieve 75% conversion at a volumetric flowrate of 50 l/min.

Step 1

The reaction is first order in A and B, which means the rate of the reaction is proportional to the concentration of A and B. Second, we need to calculate the initial concentrations of A and B. Given that the feed consists of 41% A and 41% B, and the total Show more…
