Question: Problem 3 : You have two CSTRs and two PFRs each with a volume of 1 . 6 m 3 . Use Fig - ure

Problem 3:
You have two CSTRs and two PFRs each with a volume of 1.6m3. Use Fig-
ure 2-2 to calculate the conversion for each of the reactors in the following
arrangements.
(a) Two CSTRs in series.
(b) Two PFRs in series.
(c) Two CSTRs in parallel with the feed, FA0, divided equally between the
two reactors.
(d) Two PFRs in parallel with the feed divided equally between the two reactors.
(e) A CSTR and a PFR in parallel with the flow equally divided. Also calcu-
late the overall conversion, xov
xov=FA0'-FACSTR-FAPFRFA0, with FACSTR=FA02-FA02xCSTR,
FAPFR=FA02(1-xPFR)
(f) A PFR followed by a CSTR.
(g) A CSTR followed by a PFR.
(h) A PFR followed by two CSTRs. Is this arrangement a good one or is
there a better one?
