Question
Consider the reaction 2A + B → 2C in a flow reactor at steady state. The feed stream consists of 100 mol/s of A, 200 mol/s of B, and 50 mol/s of C. What is the flow rate of C exiting the reactor if A is consumed at a rate of 5 mol/s?

- 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.
