Consider the isothermal, isobaric elementary gas-phase reaction ABC, which is carried out in a certain flow reactor. Pure A enters the reactor at 6.0 atm and 1100 K. (a) (b) (c) (d) Set up a stoichiometric table and write the reaction rate solely as a function of conversion. Calculate the ratio of CSTR space time to PFR space time needed. to reach 80% conversion (assume the same operating conditions). How would your equation for the reaction rate change if the reaction were to be carried out in a constant-volume batch reactor? Obtain an expression for the time needed to reach 80% conversion in a batch reactor. How does this compare to the space time of the PFR in part (b)?
