from the given problem (8.13) develop a
principle involved to solve the problem.
Discuss how to analyze the problem
(analysis of the problem)(like a CASE
STUDY) and then the solution of the
problem. provide citations
8.13 Under appropriate conditions, the gas-phase partial oxidation
of acetaldehyde to peracetic acid is autocatalytic. The reaction
stoichiometry is
CH3CHO+O2CH3CO3H
and the corresponding rate expression is
r=keff(CH3CHO)1.5[(O2)+(CH3CO3H)]
For present purposes you may assume that
keff=1013.78e-20,000RT
for keff in cm92mol32*s,T in K, and R in calmol*K.
Consider a feedstock consisting of 75.0%vv acetalde-
hyde, 5.0% oxygen, and 20.0% nitrogen. For a tubular reactor
designed for isothermal operation at 200C and 1.5atm, deter-
mine the space time necessary to achieve 99% conversion of
the limiting reagent. Ideal gas behavior may be assumed.
