Question: Ethylene chlorohydrin ( A ) + NaHCO 3 ( B ) Ethylene Glycol ( C ) + NaCl ( D ) + CO 2 (

Ethylene chlorohydrin (A)+ NaHCO3(B) Ethylene Glycol (C)+ NaCl (D)+ CO2(E) A+B --->C+D+E
The rate constant of the simple_elementary reaction at 80\deg C is k=5.2 L/(kmol. h). A pilot study was conducted to determine the economic feasibility of producing substance C from two separate solutions containing 30% substance A and 20% substance B by weight. With the equal initial concentration feed obtained by mixing the solutions, 20 kg of substance C will be produced per hour with a conversion rate of 90%. According to this;
a
If the reaction is carried out in a PFR under these conditions, the volume of PFR to be used is
b. Calculate the CSTR volume if CSTR is used for the same production rate, feed and conversion rate.
Additional data:
MA=80.5 kg/kmol
MB=84 kg/kmol
Mc=62 kg/kmol
