Question: Elementary gas phase reaction ( ) 2 1 - > 2 ( ) is carried out in a CSTR . The feed consists of pure

Elementary gas phase reaction ()21->2() is carried out in a CSTR. The feed consists of pure A and is fed into the reactor at 2 atm pressure, 80\deg C temperature and 0.3 m3/min volumetric flow rate. The reactor is operated at a pressure of 2 atm. The reaction equilibrium constant at 25\deg C is known as Kp=5030 and the standard reaction enthalpy is -5300 cal/mol. CpA and CpR values are 12.5 cal/(mol.K) and 7.5, respectively. cal/(mol.K). Reaching 85% conversion if the reactor is cooled at a steady state rate of 12000 cal/min. Calculate the required reactor volume. k1=6.31x105.exp(-6800/T), min-1 R=1.987 cal/(mol.K) mCp=12.5 cal/(min.K) R=0.082 m3.atm/(kmol.K)
