Question: 2 - ( 2 0 pts ) The liquid - phase reaction A + B C follows an elementary rate law and is carried out

2-(20 pts) The liquid-phase reaction A+BC follows an elementary rate law and is carried out isothermally in a flow system. The concentrations of the A and B feed streams are 2M before mixing. The volumetric flow rate of each stream is 5dm3min, and the entering stream temperature is 300K. The streams are mixed immediately before entering. Two reactors are available. One is a 200.0-dm3CSTR that can operate at 77C, and the other is a 800.0-dm3PFR at 300K. Kinetic parameters of the reaction are; k=0.07dm3mol-min at 300K and E=20kcalmol.
Which reactor and what conditions do you recommend? Explain the reason for your choice. Back up your reasoning with the appropriate calculations.
