Transcribed Image Text:

The kinetics of a first-order liquid-phase reaction were measured in a reactor free from external mass transfer limitations for different particle sizes. The results are shown in the table below. Particle diameter (mm) -ra (mol/cm/s) 0.03 0.08 0.04 0.08 0.1 0.0794 0.0777 0.0719 0.2 0.4 These data were taken in a differential reactor where the concentration was 0.8 mol/cm. You will be using 0.25 mm particles in a slurry (CSTR) reactor to catalyze this reaction. The available reactor is 50 cm. What conversion can be achieved in this reactor? Useful information: De 1105 cm/s FAO 2.5 mol/s Cao = 0.5 mol/cm3 The kinetics of a first-order liquid-phase reaction were measured in a reactor free from external mass transfer limitations for different particle sizes.
