Question: In the alkylation process: C 6 H 6 + C 1 2 H 2 4 AlCl 3 , 4 5 @ C , C 6

In the alkylation process:
C6H6+C12H24AlCl3,45@C,C6H5.C12H25
A stirred - Jacketed reactor is employed to carry out the reaction at 45C, a pump is used to circulate cooling water into the jacket. It is required to:
i) Draw a qualitative flowsheet for the process.
ii) Estimate the volume of the reactor, in m3.
iii) Estimate the dimensions of the reactor, if it is a cylindrical tank, with (H/D=1.35).D and H are the diameter and the height of the reactor, respectively.
iv) Estimate the capacity of the cooling water pump, in m3hr and in liter/s.
v) Estimate the heat transfer area needed to cool the reactor, in m2.
Data given:
Alkylation is carried out batch wise, the time of the batch is 6 hours.
The amounts of reactants per day are:
 In the alkylation process: C6H6+C12H24AlCl3,45@C,C6H5.C12H25 A stirred - Jacketed reactor is
