Example 1-2 How Large Is It? Consider the liquid phase cis - trans isomerization of 2 butene H H H CH; CH CH, cis-2-butene CH, H trans-2-butene B B which we will write symbolically as The reaction is first order in A (-1A = k) and is carried out in a tubular reactor in which the volumetric flow rate, u, is constant, i.e., v = v. CAO CA = 0.1CAO Up AB V=0 V V1 U (b) Revisit Example 1-2. Calculate the volume of a CSTR for the conditions used to calculate the plug-flow reactor volume in Example 1-2. Which volume is larger, the PFR or the CSTR? Explain why. Suggest two ways to work this problem incorrectly. (c) Revisit Example 1-2. Calculate the time to reduce the number of moles of A to 1% of its initial value in a constant-volume batch reactor for the same reaction and data in Example 1-2. Suggest two ways to work this problem incorrectly
