A second-order reaction is to be carried out in a real reactor that gives the following outlet concentration for a step input:
For 0 ≤ t < 10 min, then CT = 10 (1 –e.1t)
For 10 min ≤ t, then CT = 5 + 10 (1 – e.1t
a. What model do you propose and what are your model parameters, α and β?
b. What conversion can be expected in the real reactor?
c. How would your model change and conversion change if your outlet tracer concentration was as follows?
For t ≤ 10 min, then CT = 0
For t ≥ 10 min, then CT = 5 + 10 (1 –e–0.2(t–10)
υ0 = 1 dm3/min, k = 0.1 dm3/mol · min, CA0 = 1.25 mol/dm3
