Example +5 Calculating the Equilibrium Conversion The reversible gas-phnse decomposition of nitrogen tetroxide, N.O., to nitrogen dioxide, NO3, N204 - 2N0, is to be carried out at constant temperature. The feed consists of pure N.0, at 340 K and 202.6 kPa (2 atm). The concentration oquilibrium constant. K, at 340 K is 0.1 mol/dm and the rate constant, k, is 0.5min. (a) Set up a stoichiometric table and then calculate the equilibrium conversion of N.0, in a constant volume batch reactor. (b) Calculate the equilibrium conversion of N, 0, in a flow reactor. (C) Assuming the reaction is elementary, express the rate of reaction solely as a function of conversion for a flow system and for a batch system Determine the CSTR volume necessary to achieve 80% of the equilibrium conversion if F2.-3
