The volumetric flow rate ofeach stream is 5 dm3/min and the entering temperature is 300K. The streams are mixedimmediately before entering. Two reactors are available. One is a 200 dm3 CSTR that canbe heated to 77 °C or cooled to 0 °C, the other is a 800 dm3 PFR operated at 300 K thatcannot be heated or cooled. Note that k = 0.07 dm3/mol min at 300 K and E = 83.7 kJ/mola) Which reactor and what conditions do you recommend? Explain the reason of yourchoice (space available, operational complexity).

- 5. [ , The isothermal and isobaric gas phase reaction: A → 2B follows an elementary rate law. The rate constant k = 1.5 s' when the reaction temperature is at T = 350 K. Pure A is fed into a continuous-stirred tank reactor (CSTR) at a volumetric flow rate of 5 dm/s. What conversion of A can the reactor achieve if the reactor has a volume of 20 dm?arrow_forwardThe elementary gas-phase reaction A → 3B is carried out in a cylindrical batch reactor divided by a thin metallic membrane into two compartments of equal volume, as shown in the figure below. Pure A Pure I Initially one side is filled with pure 'A', and the other with an inert gas T. Both sides are at the same pressure (1 atm.), the same temperature, and contain the same number of moles. The reaction is carried out isothermally and the rate constant for the reaction is 0.1 min. a. After 10 minutes the membrane ruptures. What is the pressure differential rating of the membrane? What is the conversion at this time? b. If the mixture continues to react after the membrane is ruptured, how much longer does it take for the conversion to reach 90% (based on the initial moles of A)? c.
