Question: ( continuing Homework Set 3 # 3 . ) The elementary gas - phase reaction ( C H 3 ) 3 C O O C

(continuing Homework Set 3 #3.) The elementary gas-phase reaction
(CH3)3COOC(CH3)3C2H6+2CH3COCH3
AB+2C
is carried out isothermally at 400K in a flow reactor with no pressure drop. The reaction rate constant
at 50C is 10-4min-1 and the activation energy is 85kJmol. Pure di-tert-butyl peroxide enters the
reactor at 10atm and 127C and a molar flow rate of 2.5molmin.
d. A leak is found and it is determined that your reactor is leaking ethane uniformly through the
sides of the PFR, resulting in performance as a membrane reactor with kc=0.2min-1. What
plug-flow volume for this membrane reactor will result in 90% conversion?
