A second order rreversible gas phase reaction is given below A 2B + C a) The reaction takes place in a constant volume reactor. A security disc is placed in the reactor which breaks down when the pressure exceeds 1250 psi. The reaction rate constant is given as 0.02 s. Pure A is fed to the reactor at 550 psi. How long will it take the security disc to break down? b) You have one mixed flow reactor and one plug flow reactor (both of equal volumes) for this second order reaction to take place. To maximize the conversion ratio, which will be the connection order of the reactors? Explain drawing appropriate plots.
