Quiz 3
A liquid phase reaction, A?B+C, is carried out in a flow reactor. It is desired to produce
100 mol/h of B using pure A. The reactant is fed at 50 °C. The following data is given:
$\Delta H^\circ_{rx} = -5000$ J/mol, E = 70000 J/mol; (at 298 K); k = 0.001 s?¹ (at 50 °C), $C_{A0} = 0.5$
mol/m³; $C_{PA} = 10$ J/mol.K, $C_{PB} = 7$ J/mol.K, $C_{PC} = 3$ J/mol.K.
1) If the exit temperature is restricted up to 70°C, verify if you can use adiabatic reactor.
