(Please do not leave part f without solving)
The exothermic reaction of stilbene (A) to form the economically important trospophene
(B) and methane (C): AB+C, was carried out adiabatically and the following data
recorded:
The entering molar flow rate of A was 300molmin.
a) What are the PFR and CSTR volumes necessary to achieve 40% conversion?
b) Over what range of conversions would the CSTR and PFR reactor volumes be identical?
c) What is the maximum conversion that can be achieved in a 105dm3 CSTR?
d) What conversion can be achieved if a 72dm3 PFR is followed in series by a 24dm3
CSTR?
e) What conversion can be achieved if a 24dm3CSTR is followed in series by a 72dm3
PFR?
f) Plot the conversion and rate of reaction as a function of PFR reactor volume up to a
volume of 100dm3.
