Three mixed flow reactors (MFR) with constant density are connected in series
to study the liquid phase decomposition rate of A. Let us find the reaction rate
equation for an nth-order elementary reaction of unknown order in steady
state, that is,-rA=kCAn
Express the space velocity (1,2,3) for the three reactors connected in series
using the concentration of the reactant (CA0,CA1,CA2,CA3) and the reaction rate
constant k.(note that chemical reactions are known as nth-order basic reactions,
that is)
The concentration of feed A(CA0) entering the first reactor is 40molAL, the
hold time (th1) is 100 sec, and the concentration of feed A(CA1) entering the second
reactor is 20molAL., the residence time (th2) is 200sec, the concentration (CA2)
of feed A entering the third reactor is 10molAL, and the residence time (th3) is
400 sec. Find the order (n) of the elementary reaction.
Find the reaction rate constant (k) using 1) and 2).
Find the final concentration of A(CA3) coming out through the third reactor.
