1. The homogenous, irreversible, exothermic, liquid phase reaction A → R,
is being carried out in a reactor system consisting of two ideal CFSTR in
series.
The molar flow rate of A entering the first CFSTR is 55,000 mol h-1. At the
system entrance, the concentration of A is 6.5 mol L·1 and the
concentration of R is negligible. The rate constant for the forward reaction
is 1.28 h-1 and the overall conversion of A in the system is 0.75.
(a) If the volume of the second CFSTR is 10,000 L, determine the
required volume of the first CFSTR.

We find that both reactions are first order and irreversible with k₁ = 1.0 min-¹ and k₂= 0.1 min-¹.

- You are designing a reactor for a process that has the following decomposition reaction: A →D + 2F The rate law for this reaction is unknown and must be determined by an experiment. Since the reaction takes place in the liquid phase, you choose to build a CSTR reactor. You allow the reactor to fill to a certain volume, V, and then adjust the inlet and outlet volumetric flow rates to equal values, vo, to allow the system to reach steady state. Once the system is at steady state you measure the outlet concentration, CA. The residence time (t = V/v.) is increased by turning off the outlet flow, which allows the volume to increase, then setting the outlet flow to its original value and waiting until steady state is reached. You measure the concentration again and repeat this procedure multiple times to obtain the following table.

The rules for the feed streams of A and B are 2.0 mol/L before mixing. The volumetric flow rate of each stream is 5 dm3/min, and the inlet temperature is 300 K. The streams are mixed just before entering. Two reactors are available. One is a 200 dm3 CSTR, which can be heated to 77oC or cooled to 0oC; another is an 800 dm3 PFR, operated at 300 K, which cannot be heated or cooled. Note that k = 0.07 dm3 / mol.min at 300K and E = 20 kcal / mol. (A) What conversion would be achieved if the CSTR and PFR were operated at 300K and connected in series? And in parallel with 5 mols/min each? (B)Knowing that the operating times (loading, unloading, heating, cleaning, etc.) of the batch reactor is around 3 h, what volume of batch reactor would be necessary to process, per day, the same amount of species A as in reactors with Flow so as to achieve 90% conversion?arrow_forwardProblem 4 The reversible, exothermic, liquid phase, homogeneous reaction A ₹R is being carried out in two ideal CSTRs. Both reactors operate at 150°C. The molar flow rate of A entering the first CSTR is 55,000 mol/h, the concentration of A in this stream is 6.5 mol/L, and the concentration of R is zero. The fractional conversion of A in the outlet stream from the second CSTR is 0.75. The fractional conversion is based on the molar flow rate entering the first CSTR. The reaction is first order in both directions. The rate constant for the forward reaction is 1.3 h-¹ and the equilibrium constant based on concentration at 150°C is 10.0. If the volume of the second CSTR is 10,000 L, what is the required volume of the first CSTR?arrow_forward
