2. Consider the reaction - A+BC The reaction is elementary; however, a zero order can assumed for B when CB0>10CA0. For the system being considered, CA0=5kmol/m3 and CB0=80kmol/m3 and the feed temperature is 400K. The enthalpy is 57.3kJ/mol over the range of temperatures encountered. The following information is available when CB0>10CA0 : k=3107/minat273K,5106/minat298K;CPA=30J/molK,CPB=13J/molK,CPC=43J/molK (a) If the reaction is carried out in an adiabatic batch reactor, what would the holding time be for 99.8% conversion? (b) If the reaction is carried out in an adiabatic CSTR, what would the space time be for 99.8% conversion? (c) Which reactor would you consider to be the best? Consider your answers to parts (a) and (b) as well as any other factors you consider relevant. 2.
