The elementary irreversible second-order gas-phase reaction 2AlongrightarrowB+C is carried out adiabatically in Plug flow reactor. Pure methanol (A) enters the reactor with volumetric flow rate of 20dm3s at pressure of 2atm and a temperature of 225C. Assume, A:CH3OH,B:CH3OCH3 and C:H2O.
Find the parameters and the mathematical relations between conversion, temperature and volume of the PFR.
