reaction engineering 2. An elementary liquid-phase reaction, A+B-C is to be carried

2. An elementary liquid-phase reaction, A+B-C is to be carried out isothermally. The concentrations of A and B in feed are same (Cao = Cbo= 1 mol/dm), and the feed volumetric flow rate (vo) is 10 dm/min. Two reactors are available: (1) a 200 dm CSTR that can operate at any temperature between 273 to 350 K, and (2) a 800 dm PFR that can operate only at 300 K. Given: k = 0.07 dmmol-min at 300 K, E = 20,000 cal/mol, R = 1.986 cal/mol/K. 2x dx = 1n|1 x + c A. Based on conversion, which reactor and what temperature do you recommend? (12 marks) B. How long would it take to achieve 90% conversion in a 200-dm batch reactor with Cao - CBo = 1 mol/dm'at a temperature of 350 K? (7 marks) So-vzd=1+x+C (1 ad 2(1 - x)?* a
