For the reaction and data in P64B, we now consider the case when the reaction is reversible with KC =0.025dm6/mol2 and the reaction is carried out at 300K in a membrane reactor where C2H6 is diffusing out. The membrane transport coefficient is kC=0.08s1. (a) What is the equilibrium conversion and what is the exit conversion in a conventional PFR? (Ans.: Xeq=0.52,X=0.47 ) (b) Plot and analyze the conversion and molar flow rates in the membrane reactor as a function of reactor volume up to the point where 80% conversion of di-tert-butyl peroxide is achieved. Note any maxima in the flow rates
