Please give me a polymath or mathlab code if it is necessary
The pyrolysis of acetone in the gas phase to form cetane and methane is one of the key
steps in the industrial synthesis of acetic anhydride:
CH3COCH3-CH2CO+CH4
A-B+C
The reaction is first order with respect to acetone and will take place in a non-isothermal
PFR with no pressure drop. The reactor must be designed to process 38.26mols of
acetone. Acetone enters the reactor pure at a pressure of 1.6atm and 1035K. For adiabatic
operation, plot the conversion vs volume and temperature vs volume profiles from 0 to 0.3
conversion (5 extra points) and answer the following:
a) Calculate the temperature in K of the reactor so that a 30% conversion is achieved.
b) What will be the volume in liters to achieve the same conversion.
Additional data:
FA0=38.26mols
H273K=80000Jmol
CpA=160JmolK
CpB=85JmolK
CpC=72JmolK
lnk=34.34-34222T
Has to be one of these:
a)876K, b)15770 litros
a)976K, b)20770 litros
a)676K, b)13770 litros
a)376K, b)20770 litros
