Problem 4.
The reaction takes place between two gases that mix at the entrance of the
PFR reactor. The first gas A enters at a flow rate of 14.2m3min and the second gas
contains 50%B and balance in inert I, entering with a total flow rate of 7.1m3min.
Both are instantaneously mixed at the entrance of the reactor at 86C and 1atm.
The gases are ideal and the product obtained is R according to the stoichiometric
reaction:
A+BR
The rate constant is given by the following expression:
lnkp=-5470T+12.5(molatm2(L)(min))
Calculate the reactor volume operating isothermally to achieve 90% conversion.
Calculate the molar flow and space velocity.
