For the elementary reaction:

A -> 2B

1.1. If the reaction is elementary and irreversible, what is the rate of reaction with respect to A?

1.2. If the reaction is elementary and irreversible, write an equation that relates rB to rA. What is the rate of reaction with respect to B?

1.3. What is delta for the reaction?

1.4.1. The above reaction will be done in a flow reactor. there is B in the feed so that the ratio of Fb0 to Fao is 1 to 4. Draw up a stoichiometric table for the flow reactor. There are no inert components in the reactor feed.

1.4.2. The liquid phase reaction will be done under isothermal conditions at constant density. write an expression for the rate of reaction of A in terms of FA and X.

1.4.3. The final conversion is 80%, V0 is 50L/s and the value of Kf is 0.005 s^-1.

a) What reactor volume is required if the reaction is being done in CSTR? (answer in m^3)

b) What reactor volume is required if the reaction is being done in a PFR? (answer in m^3)

1.4.4. Compare the answers that you obtained in Q1.3.3 a) and b) and comment.
