CONSIDER REACTION 2A+B --> 3P TAKING PLACE IN liquid phase.
the reaction kinetics has a partial order 1 with respect to each reactant.
the value of the kinetic constant at 50 degress celcius is 2 Lmol-1h-1.
the reaction is implemented at the industrial scale in a batch reactor in order to produce 2000 mol P every day. Accounting for logistic constrains and for labour regulations (7,5 h work a day) the daily time dedicated for the reaction itself is limited to 5 hours
the initial concentration of the reactants is 2 mol/L for A and 1 mol/L for B
1. calculate the conversion of A and B versus time
2. determine the reactor volume which is needed in order to achieve the expected production (2000 molP/day) as a function of the production time
3. comment the results , which final design would you propose?
