I need the answer to all three parts (a, b, c). Please solve for both volume and space time in all three parts and not only the volume.
The elementary gas-phase reaction (CH3)3COOC(CH3)3 C2H6 + 2 CH3COCH: a is carried out isothermally in a flow reactor with no pressure drop. The specific reaction rate at 50C is 104 min-- and the activation energy is 85 kJ/mol. Pure di-tert-butyl peroxide enters the reactor at 10 atm and 127C and a molar flow rate of 2.5 mol/min. Calculate volume and space time to achieve 90% conversion in: (a) a CSTR (b) a PFR (c) Assume that the reaction is reversible with KC = 0.025 mol-/dm and calculate the equilibrium conversion and then redo (a) and (b) to achieve a conversion that is 90% of the equilibrium conversion. a
