Question

Transcribed Image Text:1-
At present the elementary liquid-phase reaction A + B R+S takes
place in a plug flow reactor using equimolar quantities of A and B. Conver-
sion is 96%, CAO =
large as the plug flow reactor were hooked up in series with the existing
unit, which unit should come first and by what fraction could production
be increased for that setup?
CB0 = 1 mol/liter. If a mixed flow reactor ten times as
%3D
2-
The same conditions as the question 1 but the reactor were hooked up in
parallel, what is the increase in volumetric rate?

- For the following reaction set, define or propose two types of reactor systems to maximize product D selectivity, sketch the reactor system and describe clearly the input reactant concentrations and separation requirements if necessary. The unit of reaction rate is in units (mol/dm^3.sec) and concentration in units (mol/dm^3). (question on picture)arrow_forward1. Consider a gas-phase reaction, 2A - B +C + 3D with r = kC Initially 50% A and 50% inert are present. If the pressure and temperature remain constant, determine the final volume in terms of the initial and fractional conversion.arrow_forwardnote: do not use excel please. show all the necessary steps and solutions. correct answer only pls. thank you.. type the answer. help please.arrow_forward
- 1. The reaction A → B is to be carried out isothermally in a continuous-flow reactor. The entering volumetric flow rate (v.) is 8 L/h. For a constant volumetric flow rate v = Do, then FA CAVO Also, CAO FAO/vo. Pure species A enters into the reactor at a rate of 4 mol/h. Calculate both the CSTR and PFR volumes necessary to consume 99% of species A (i.e., CA = 0.01CAo) assuming the reaction rate -гA is a. -TAKA with kA = 0.05 mol/L.h b. rA KACA with kA = 0.0001 s¨¹ C. -TA KA(CA)² with kA = 300 L/mol.h 2.
