QUESTION 2 Part II: Construct a bifurcation diagram of steady state conversion

QUESTION 2 Part II: Construct a bifurcation diagram of steady state conversion versus residence time for the reaction A --> B in a non-isothermal CSTR. Use the data given below for Propylene Glycol production. HINT: Use graphical technique. See procedure in the attached file (Using residence time as the bifurcation parameter.pdf). DATA: FAO = 150 lbmol/hr, TO-55 F, Ta-80 F, U=100 btu/hr.ft2.F, A=40 ft2., Cp0=400 btu/lbmol.F k=1.7e13 exp(-16,500/T) hr-1, where T is in R. -DH = 36,000 btu/lbmol. 1. Create the graph described in the attachments. 2. By changing the slope of F2 (residence time), construct the required bifurcation diagram. 3. What is the minimum residence time needed to get X > 0.8? 4. What is the range of residence time that leads to multiple steady states.
