Question
A (eth) + B (eth) → P (s) a reaction with side reaction A (eth) + 2B (eth) = Q.
P is desired product and Q is not desired.
the reaction is carried out in batch operation mode, explain how shifting to semi batch will reduce amount of Q being produced while maintaing P as it is.
- reaction is zero-order in both components A and B.
-low selectivity(0.1%)

- DRAW A 2D SCHEMATIC FOR THIS SOLUTION WITH A DETAILED PARAGRAPH A first order irreversible reaction is conducted in an 600L continuously stirred tank, in liquidsolution at 80 ᵒC temperature. The total conversion in the tank is calculated to be 60%. However,this conversion appears low.After a quick check, you realise that something in the mixing is not working correctly and as aresult, the tank is not optimally stirred.Following a few tests on residence times, you calculate that approximately 200 L of the tank do notinteract appreciably with the input or output streams. You therefore decide to modify the reactorby improving the stirring performance in order to obtain complete mixing in the reactor volume.arrow_forward2- A reaction A+B→C which is first order with respect to each of the reactants with a reaction rate constant of 9.92 x 10 m/kmol.s at 25 °C. volume changes on reaction may be neglected.
