A first order liquid-phase decomposition reaction is carried out in a network of equal-volume
PFR and CSTR reactors in series. The reaction has the following stoichiometry
AB+C
The feed consists of pure A with a molar rate and a volumetric flow rates of 10molmin,
and 10Lmin respectively. The overall conversion of the process is 0.96. The first reactor is
operated at )=(0.03min1. The volumetric average consumption rate of A(?bar(-rA))PFR in the
PFR is equal to the reaction rate in the CSTR. The activaton energy is 50 kJ/mol
Determine the following:
1.1. The total volume of the reactor network
1.2. The operational temperature of the second reactor.
 A first order liquid-phase decomposition reaction is carried out in a
