An aqueous solution containing 1,2 mol/litre of A is fed at 150 litre/hr into an isothermal reactor, where it undergoes a first-order reaction. If the reaction rate constant is 8,5/hr, determine the conversion in each of the following reactors:

 1.1. A Plug Flow Reactor of volume 20 litre; 

1.2. CSTR of volume 20 litre; 

1.3. Two CSTRs in series, each of 10 litre. 

1.4. Ten CSTRs in series, each of 2 litre

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

For a firstorder reaction the conversion X is related to the volume of the reactor V the initial con... View the full answer
