Question: There is a continuous isothermal perfect mix reactor with a capacity of 2 m 3 , where the irreversible reaction occurs in the gas phase
There is a continuous isothermal perfect mix reactor with a capacity of 2 m3, where the irreversible reaction occurs in the gas phase + 2 . feeding consists of 40% A, 40% B, and the remainder inerts at 450 K and 22.15 atm with a feed flow of 9 L/min. The reaction is elementary.
| Temperature | Reaction Constant (L/mol*h) |
| 350 | 0.06 |
| 500 | 0.36 |
a) Determine the conversion that this reactor would achieve
b) What would be the volume of a plug flow reactor operating at the same conditions (i.e. to reach the same conversion) as the mixing reactor but it has perfect = 0.01 1 (Explain this one step by step)
c) To achieve twice the conversion, we need to add another reactor in series. For a first-order irreversible reaction, the highest conversion is achieved in a plug flow reactor (PFR). Therefore, it is better to add a PFR after the CSTR. To calculate the volumes of the two reactors, we can use the following equations:
