Problem 2. (30 points) An irreversible, second order liquid phase reaction A + B occurs in a CSTR operated under the similar conditions as in problem 1. The material balance analysis of reactant A leads to the following equation: dcA V = (Cai -CA) - VKCA dt Here, rate constant, k and the volume of content in the reactor, V, are constants. The volumetric flow rate, q, and input stream concentration of species A, Cai, will change in the process. (a) (20 points) Find the transfer functions, ch(s) and ch(s) and express the transfer functions in chi(s) the form of steady state gain and time constant. (b) (10 points) For a step change of Cai Chi = 0.1 mol/m3, the figure below shows the response of Ct). Estimate the rate constant k under the following conditions: V = 2.0 m; q = 0.1 m3/min; Cai = 1.0 mol/m; C = 0.2 mol/m3 0.03 0.02 C (mol/m3) 0.01 0 0 4 8 8 12 16 20 t (min)
