Question: The gas - phase reaction A B + C is carried out in a PFR reactor of V = 8 0 0 L . The

The gas-phase reaction AB+C is carried out in a PFR reactor of V=800L. The reaction is first-order with respect to component A, with:
k=60exp(-5000T)(s-1)
There is a heat exchange jacket, with the following parameters:
4UD=0.0678Js.K
Tc=323K
The reactor feed is composed of pure component A, at a pressure of 15 bar and a temperature of 450K, with a volumetric flow rate of 1.956ls.
Based on these data, plot graphs for the concentrations of components A, B and C and the reactor temperature vs. volume.
Data:
,=-12KJmol
Heat capacities: Cpa=40JmolK;CpB=15JmolK;Cpc=25JmolK
 The gas-phase reaction AB+C is carried out in a PFR reactor
