Question

Consider the isothermal gas-phase decomposition reaction: A → B + C. The reaction is to take place at a feed rate of A equal to 0.4 moles/s.

1. What is the space velocity of the fed if space time necessary to achieve the 80% conversion in the CSTR is 5 hour? Assume that the process proceed under identical conditions as those under which the tabulated batch data was obtained

a. 0.04 h-1 b. 0.41 h-1 c. 0.08 h-1               d. 0.2 h-1

2. What is the entering volumetric flow rate of the fed if space time necessary to achieve the 80% conversion in the CSTR is 5 hour? Assume that the process proceed under identical conditions as those under which the tabulated batch data was obtained

 

conversion in the CSTR is 5 hour? Assume that the process proceed under identical conditions as
those under which the tabulated batch data was obtained?
