2. [40] In a PFR (plug flow reactor) under steady state, the following gas reaction takes place. This reaction follows the first-order irreversible kinetics at 227C. 3A(g)2R(g)+5S(g)(gdenotesgasphase),rateequationrA=(8/min)CA The temperature, total pressure, and the total molar flow rate at the inlet of the reactor are 227C,230kPa, and 120 mol/hr, respectively. There are 70%A and 30% inert gas at the inlet. What size of plug flow reactor operating at 227C and 230kPa can produce 70% conversion (Note: Write down the corresponding performance equation, integrate the PFR performance equation with the given rate equation to find the reactor volume). 2.
