Answer A and B...

1) Consider the reaction 2AB in an isothermal CSTR. Let Fi be the inlet volumetric flow rate, cai the inlet reactant concentration, the varying reactor volume, ca the reactant concentration in the reactor, and F the outlet flow rate which is manipulated. Assume that the density p is constant and that the reactor was initially filled with the feed stream. Let the kinetic rate constant be k = 1 L/s-mol, and the nominal values of the feed stream Fig = 10 L/s and Caie = 2 mol/L. The reactor is normally run so as to achieve 65% conversion (i.e., 35% of A leaves unreacted). Calibration experiments of a concentration analyzer gave the following data: CA [mol/i] sensor output [mA] 4.1 5.6 6.9 8.7 0 0.2 0.4 0.8 1.2 10 2 12.2 a) Find the transfer function between the analyzer output a and the outlet flow rate F. b) Find the transfer function between the analyzer output a and the inlet concentration Cai
