The exothermic reaction A->B + C was carried out adiabatically and the following data recorded: (see attached picture ). The entering molar flow rate of A was 300 mol/min.
a) What are the PFR and CSTR volumes necessary to achieve 40% conversion?
b) Over what range of conversions would the CSTR and PFR reactor volumes be identical?
c) What is the maximum conversion that can be achieved in a 10.5-dm3 CSTR?
d) What conversion can be achieved if a 72-dm3 PFR is followed in series by a 24-dm3 CSTR?
e) What conversion can be achieved if a 24-dm3 CSTR is followed in a series by a 72-dm3 PFR?
f) PIot the conversion and rate of reaction as a function of PFR reactor volune up to a volume of 100 dm^3
