Question: s The elementary irreversible liquid - phase reaction A + B C is carried out in a CSTR , and a conversion of 7 0

s The elementary irreversible liquid-phase reaction A +B C is carried out in a CSTR, and a conversion of 70 Problem 1
An irreversible liquid phase reaction is carried out in an isothermal continuous flow reactor
(CSTR or PFR). The reaction is
with
A+BC
-rA=kCACB;,k=2Lmol*s
The feed stream has a volumetric flow rate of 5Ls; it carries components A and B, both at
concentration 1molL.(There are no C molecules in the feed.) The liquid stream has
constant mass density.
Component A is to have a fractional conversion of 80% as it exits the reactor.
(a) What is xB in the effluent (i.e. exit) stream when the conversion of A is 80%?
(b) For a CSTR, determine the required reactor volume.
(c) For a PFR, determine the required reactor volume.
 s The elementary irreversible liquid-phase reaction A +B C is carried
