An elementary irreversible reaction AB+C is carried out adiabatically in a flow reactor with negligible shaft work. The feed reactant enters at a temperature of 350K with volumetric flow rate of 20dm3s. If the initial concentration of the reactant is 2moldm3 and k=0.02s-1
A. Assuming liquid phase reaction, find volume of CSTR to achieve conversion of 70%
(1P)
B. Find the volume of PFR for a gas-phase reaction with no pressure drop to achieve similar conversion of 70%.
(2P)
C. What volume of PFR obtained if you reduce further the volumetric flowrates to 5dm3s and how it's compared to CSTR volume in Q1.
