Question: P 1 1 - 4 The elementary, irreversible, organic liquid - phase reaction A + B C is carried out adiabatically in a flow reactor.

P11-4 The elementary, irreversible, organic liquid-phase reaction
A+BC
is carried out adiabatically in a flow reactor. An equal molar feed in A and B enters at 27C, and the volumetric flow rate is 2dm3s and CA0=0.1kmolm3.
Additional information:
HA(273K)=-20kcalmol,HB(273K)=-15kcalmol
HC(273K)=-41kcalmol
CPA=CPB=15calmol*K,CPC=30calmol*K
k=0.01dm3(mol)*sat300K,E=10,000calmol
PFR
(a) Plot and then analyze the conversion and temperature as a function of PFR volume up to where x=0.85. Describe the trends.
(b) What is the maximum inlet temperature one could have so that the boiling point of the liquid (550K) would not be exceeded even for complete conversion?
(c) Plot the heat that must be removed along the reactor (Q vs.V) to maintain isothermal operation.
(d) Plot and then analyze the conversion and temperature profiles up to a PFR reactor volume of 10dm3 for the case when the reaction is reversible with KC=10m3kmol at 450K. Plot the equilibrium conversion profile. How are the trends different than part (a)?(Ans.: When V=10dm3 then (:x=0.0051,xeq=0517
