Question: 1 2 - 1 0 The Diels - Alder liquid - phase reaction between 1 , 4 - benzoquinone ( A , C 6 H

12-10 The Diels-Alder liquid-phase reaction between 1,4-benzoquinone (A,C6H4O2) and cyclopentadiene (B,C5H6) to form the adduct C11H10O2 is second-order with a rate constant kA=9.9210-6m3mol-1s-1 at 25C(Wassermann,1936). Calculate the size (m3) of a batch reactor required to produce adduct at the rate of 125molh-1, if cAo=cBo=100molm-3, the reactants are 90% converted at the end of each batch (cycle), the reactor operates isothermally at 25C, and the reactor down-time (for discharging, cleaning, charging) between batches is 30% of the total batch (cycle) time.
