The elementary irreversible gas-phase reaction A B+C is carried out adiabatically in a PFR packed with a catalyst. Pure A enters the reactor at a volumetric flow rate of 20 dm3/s at a pressure of 10 atm and a temperature of 450K. (a) Plot the conversion and temperature down the plug-flow reactor until an 80% conversion (if possible) is reached. (The maximum catalyst weight that can be packed into the PFR is 50 kg). Assume that AP = 0. (b) What catalyst weight is necessary to achieve 80% conversion in a CSTR? Additional information: pA : = 40 J/mol.K = 25 J/mol.K Cpc = 15 J/mol.K - HA =- 70 kJ/mol =- HB =- 50 kJ/mol H = =-40 kJ/mol All heat of formation are referenced at 273 K.
