SHOW POLYMATH CODE!!! The liquid phase isomerization reaction produces a desired product, but an undesired dimerization reaction also occurs. Both reactions are essentially irreversible and follow elementary rate laws.
AD
2AU
The reactions take place in a single, isothermal CSTR. The feed conditions are CA0=2.0molL,v0=100Lmin,k1=1.0min-1,k2=10Lmol*min,E1=3500kJmol, and E2=2500kJmol.
a) What is the reactor volume required to achieve 95% conversion of A?
b) What are the final concentrations of D and U in the reactor outlet stream?
c) What are the values of the overall selectivity of D with respect to U and the overall yield of the desired product?
d) If the reactor temperature is increased, how would each of your answers in parts a -c change qualitatively (increase, decrease, or remain unchanged)? Explain your answers.
