The 2A C + D second order liquid phase reaction is carried out in a batch reactor at constant temperature. Initially (at t=0 moment), only compound A is present in the reactor and its concentration is CAo=2.2 k-mol/L. At the end of the reaction time of t=3 minutes, 90% conversion of A takes place. The same reaction with the same conversion rate is carried out in a continuous reactor to produce 10 000 kg of C substance per hour. Where the feed stream containing pure substance A at steady conditions is fed to a continuous reactor with a volumetric flow rate of 1800 L/min; a) Calculate the required reactor volume in case of PFR. b) Calculate the required reactor volume in case of CSTR.
