Question: The liquid phase reaction A + B - > 2 C at 7 0 C takes place in a stirred tank flow reactor ( RATB

The liquid phase reaction A + B ->2C at 70C takes place in a stirred tank flow reactor (RATB) where the conversion to A is 65%.(RATB) where the conversion to A is 65%. The reaction proceeds in a pseudo-first-order with kA =0.257/hour. The reactor feed concentration was 1.5 kmol/m3.
a. Determine the reactor volume required for a production capacity of 1140 kg/hr, if compound A reacts 75%(Note: for safety reasons liquid only fulfills 80% of the reactor capacity).
Known BM C =30 kg/kmol
b. Assuming the reactor is cylindrical, determine the diameter and height of the react or (use theratio of diameter to height 1: 2)
