Question: Problem 1 ( 2 5 1 0 0 ) : A product B is generated from a reactant A in a PFR with the inlet

Problem 1(25100) : A product B is generated from a reactant A in a PFR with the inlet
volumetric flow rate of v0=4Lmin and inlet concentration of CA0=2molL. Another reaction
is occurring as well, forming an undesired product C, as follows (both reactions are liquid phase):
AB,k1=0.5min-1
AC,k2=0.1min-1
Assuming isothermal and isobaric operation, calculate the reactor volume (in L) necessary
to achieve 86.5% conversion.
What is the instantaneous yield of B and selectivity to B generation in this case?
