2.) The reaction AD, takes place in a constant volume CSTR. The volume is held at 5 L and the inlet concentration is found to be 640 mol/m3. The concentration of A is measured at the reactor exit for various volumetric flow rates, as shown below. Volume rate, vo (dm3/sec) 5 2 1 05 0.25 0.1 0.05 0.025 0.001 CA (mol/m3) 627 610 582 533 457 320 213 128 58 a.) Use the "difference" method, as shown in class, to determine the reaction order and rate constant. What are the units of k? b.) Using the "integral-like" method, as shown in class, use Matlab to plot (in 4 subplots) the data assuming reaction orders of -1, 0, 1, and 2. For the data set that yields a line, what is the reactor order and what is the value of k? 2.) The reaction AD, takes place in a constant volume CSTR.
