Can you help me by solving problem P3-11 assuming that all reactors are batch reactors and that the input conditions are the initial ones and with variable volume (I only need the stoichiometric tables for each section)evaluating all constants (e.g.,,). Then, assume the reaction follows an ele-
mentary rate law, and write the reaction rate solely as a function of conver-
sion, i.e.,-rA=f(x).
(a) For the liquid-phase reaction
the initial concentrations of ethylene oxide and water are 1lb-molft3 and
3.47lb-molf3(62.41lbf3+18), respectively. If k=0.1dm3mol- s at
300K with E=12.500calmol, calculate the space-time volume for 90%
conversion at 300K and at 350K.
(b) For the isothermal, isobaric gas-phase pyrolysis
C2H6longrightarrowC2H4+H2
pure ethane enters the flow reactor at 6 atm and 1100K. How would
your equation for the concentration and reaction rate change if the reac-
tion were to be carried out in a constant-volume batch reactor?
(c) For the isothermal, isobaric, catalytic gas-phase oxidation
C2H4+O2longrightarrowCH2-CH2
the feed enters a PBR at 6 atm and 260C and is a stoichiometric mixture
of only oxygen and ethylene.
(d) For the isothermal, isobaric, catalytic gas-phase reaction is carried out in
a PBR
the feed enters a PBR at 6 atm and 170C and is a stoichiometric mix-
ture. What catalyst weight is required to reach 80% comersion in a flu-
idized CSTR at 170C and 270C? The rate constant is defined wrt
benzene and v0=50dm3min.
