Solve Using Matlab! SOLVE USING MATLAB Given the elementary gas-phase reaction: AB+2C

SOLVE USING MATLAB

Given the elementary gas-phase reaction: AB+2C The rate constant k at 50C is 104min1, and the activation energy is 87kJ/mol. The feed A enters the reactor at 10atm and 125C with a molar flow rate of 2.7mol/min. Assume no pressure drop. Plot the conversion (X) vs. reactor volume (V) for: (a) a PFR (b) a CSTR Also, for both reactor types output what volume is needed to achieve 81% conversion. For the PFR case, use Matlab ode 15s to generate the data for the plot. Go up to Vfinal =5 m3. Use SI units if you want things to be easy! Hint: To make a plot, you will have a vector of X values and a vector of V values. To find the V that corresponds to X=0.81, here's a useful Matlab trick: [I,J]=min(abs(X.81)) Volume_answer =V(J)Volume at which X=.81; (c) Let's say that you put the CSTR and PFR from Problem 5 in series. If the CSTR volume is 1000L and comes first, then the PFR volume is 400L, then what is the total conversion? (This problem can be done very quickly if you use your code from part (a)!)
