R1 - LIQUID PHASE CHEMICAL REACTOR The elementary liquid phase reaction given below is carried out in a CSTR by isothermal operation. NaOH+EtOAckNaOAc+EtOH (A) (B) (C) (D) The volume of the CSTR is 2L and the concentrations of NaOH and EtOAc in the individual streams are 0.05mol/L and 0.1mol/L, respectively. The steady-state samples (10ml) taken from outlet of the reactor were analyzed by titrimetric analysis of NaOH using HCl solution with a concentration of 0.1M as titrant. The operational parameters and the data for consumption of HCl(VHClH) for four different sets are given below. [8] a) Calculate the steady-state conversion and annual production rate (Fe) for each set (Consider 300 days operation in a year). [5] b) Calculate the experimental reaction rate constant for the set that highest conversion achieved. [7] c) Calculate the final conversion when a second CSTR with a volume of 1L is connected to the CSTR used for the same set in b. Discuss whether increasing reactor volume for same conversion is feasible or not
