There is a 2-m³ reactor in storage that is to be used to carry out the liquid-phase second-order reaction A + B → C A and B are to be fed in equimolar amounts at a volumetric rate of 1 m3/min. The entering concentration of A is 2 molar, and the specific reaction rate is 1.5 m³/kmol · min. A tracer experiment was carried out and reported in terms of F as a function of time in minutes as shown in Figure P18-17B.

Suggest a two-parameter model consistent with the data; evaluate the model parameters and the expected conversion. U of M, ChE528 Final Exam
