2. (24 pts.) k =3k The multiple, first-order reactions A k2=2k RS occur in a steady-state, isothermal, constant-v CSTR. The inlet contains pure A only at concentration CAO. The residence time is T = V/v. Calculate: (a) (6 pts.) The value of k for which the concentration of R, CR, is maximum. (b) (6 pts.) The conversion, XA, that can be achieved for the value of k found in part (a). (c) (6 pts.) - The yield, = CR/(CAO CA), for the value of k found in part (a). (d) (6 pts.) The selectivity, Y = CR/Cs, for the value of k found in part (a). 2. (24 pts.) k =3k The multiple, first-order reactions A k2=2k RS occur in a steady-state, isothermal, constant-v CSTR.
