Question: It is desired to design a Plug Flow Reactor ( PFR ) capable of yielding 1 9 3 million pounds of product C annually through

It is desired to design a Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) capable of yielding 193 million pounds of product C
annually through the hydrolysis of reactant A, as outlined in question 1. Where 193 is your last digit
of University Registration).
The PFR was fed with 2lkmolft3 of Solution A together with equal volumetric solution of B. The
reaction will be carried out Isothermally at 40C.
a) What is the volume of PFR to achieve the above production of C with 90% conversion of A?
b) What is the residence time of the reactor?
c) If the PFR will be replaced with 3 Equal CSTR's connected in series. Each CSTR has a volume of
3000ft3, what is the conversion of the FIRST CSTR?
Given the Molecular weight of A is 60(lk /?kmol) and for product C is 80(lk /lk mol)
 It is desired to design a Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) capable
