(20 points) Problem 4.
The CRE algorithm equations are required. The numerical solution in Polymath, Matlab or Python is optional.
The liquefaction of Kentucky Coal No.9 was carried out in a slurry reactor [D. D. Gertenbach, R. M. Baldwin, and R. L. Bain. Ind. Eng. Chem. Process Des. Dev, 21,490(1982)}. The coal particles, which were less than 200 mesh, were dissolved in a -250C vacuum cut of recycle oil saturated with hydrogen at 400C. Consider the reaction sequence
which is a modified version of the one given by Gertenbach et al. All reactions are first order. Calculate the molar flow rate of each species as a function of space time in
(a) A plug-flow reactor.
(b) A 3-m3 CSTR.
