Q5) You are designing a reactor for a liquid-phase process in which an inlet stream of 100
molmin of pure reactant A(CA0=20molL) is to be converted to product B in an irreversible
elementary reaction: AB.
a. What size PFR is necessary to achieve 60% conversion if the reactor is operated
isothermally at 500K?(Answer: 9.165 L).
b. Your customer decides that they would rather use an adiabatic CSTR than the isothermal
PFR from part a. If the target is still 60% conversion, what size CSTR is needed if the
reactor feed is held at 500K?(Answer: 1.13L).
Data:
K(T=500K)=0.5min-1
Ea=65kJmol
Hrxn(500K)=-10kJmol
Cp,A=Cp,B=60JmolK (There solution for part a in chegg want to solution for part b)
