Question: In a plug flow reactor ( PFR ) , benzoquinone ( C 6 H 4 O 2 = A ) and cyclo pentadiene ( C

In a plug flow reactor (PFR), benzoquinone (C6H4O2= A) and cyclo pentadiene (C5H6= B) are reacted isothermally at 25C with a reaction rate of (-rA = k CA CB). The price of the reaction rate constant at 25C, k =9.88 x 10-3 m3/ kmol seconds. Initial concentration of benzoquinone
=0.08 kmol/m3, cyclo pentadiene =0.1 kmol/m3. if the volumetric flow rate is 5 m3
/second.
a. Determine the Volum of the pipe flow reactor to achieve 95% conversion
b. Determine the time required in the batch reactor to achieve
95% conversion.
