Question: Consider the below elementary reaction: 2 A B + C The rate law for this reaction is: - r A = k C A 2

Consider the below elementary reaction:
2AB+C
The rate law for this reaction is:
-rA=kCA2
where k=1.5mLmol*min. Say we are designing a reactor to give 95% conversion with an inlet total
volumetric flow rate of Q=100mLmi with an initial concentration of 0.5molmL. Please provide the
following:
a) The volume of a CSTR required to perform this process (please start with a sketch of the
labelled system)
b) The volume of a PFR required to perform this process (please start with a sketch of the
labelled system)
c) Which reactor type requires more volume? Which reactor type is more efficient in terms
of volume?
