Comparing Second-Order Reaction Systems
Consider a second-order reaction being carried out in a real CSTR that can be modeled as two different reactor systems: In the first system an ideal CSTR is followed by an ideal PFR (Figure E16-3.1); in the second system the PFR precedes the CSTR (Figure E16-3.2). To simplify the calculations, let τ_s and τ_p each equal 1 min, let the reaction rate constant equal 1.0 m³/kmol
min, and let the initial concentration of liquid reactant, C_A0, equal 1.0 kmol/m³. Find the conversion in each system.
For the parameters given, we note that in these two arrangements (see Figures E16-3.1 and E16-3.2), the RTD function, E(t), is the same
