Question: Given the complex reaction in CSTR: A + 2 B C with - r 1 A = k 1 A C A C B 2

Given the complex reaction in CSTR:
A+2BC with -r1A=k1ACACB2
3C+2AD with -r2C=k2CCC3CA2
a) Write the net rate of reaction for each species.
b) The complex liquid phase reactions take place in a CSTR. The feed is equal molar in A and B with FA0=200molmin, the volumetric flow rate is 100dm3min. Determine the reactor volume when conversion of the limiting reactant is 70%. What is the concentration of D, selectivity, and yield of C over D for the conversion?
c) The rate constants are:
k1A=10(dm3(mol))2min
k2C=15(dm3(mol))4min
i. Find the concentrations of A,B,C, and D exiting the reactor along with the exiting selectivity.
ii. Plot FA,FB,FC,FD and SCD as a function of V
