Question: A plug - flow reactor can be designed by reading the Levenspiel plot ( - 1 r A v s . x A ) of

A plug-flow reactor can be designed by reading the Levenspiel plot (-1rAvs.xA) of the reaction. rA is the rate of disappearance of A and xA is the percent conversion of A. The area from a Levenspiel plot is related to the reactor volume via the following relation: V=FA0*APFR.FAO is the molar flowrate and APFR (in m6kmol) is the area under the Levenspiel plot's curve. If it is desired to design a reactor that would convert 80% of a fresh reactant to xA=0.80). If FAO=0.125kmolm3, find the volume of the
reactor in m3.
Answer: A=148.42345 and V=18.5529375
