Question
Aqueous A at a concentration CA0 = 1 mol/liter is introduced into a batch reactor where it
reacts away to form product R according to stoichiometry A --> R. The concentration of A
in the reactor is monitored at various times, as shown below:
t, min 0 100 200 300 400
CA, mol/m3 1000 500 333 250 200
For the above reaction, what size of plug flow reactor would be needed for 80%
conversion of a feed stream of 1000 mol/hr at CA0 = 1.5 mol/liter?

As a first approximation, we shall consider that the reaction time is more rapid than the time of cylinder compression, consequently, the reaction takes place isothermally in car eylinder at 2700 K, in a constant volume reactor (cylinder) and under a pressure of 20 atm, the initial concentration of N2 is 0.0696 mol/liter. By a specifying constant volume, we are assuming that reaction take place rapidly with respect to the movement of the piston in the cylinder.
