SHOW POLYMATH CODE: The elementary gas-phase reaction
A B +2C
is carried out isothermally in a tubular reactor. The specific reaction rate is 0.044 min-1. A enters the reactor
at 10 atm, 127 degrees C, CA0=0.3 mol/L, and FA0=2.5 mol/min.
a) Analytically calculate the reactor volume and space time to achieve 74.81% conversion in a PFR with no pressure drop.
b) Plot X and y as functions of PFR volume when there is pressure drop with alpha =0.001 L-1. Calculate the conversion and the pressure at the exit of this reactor when the volume matches that found in part a
