- *** Mixed Flow Reactor An aqueous feed reactants A and B (400 L/min, 100 mmol A/li, 2 mol B/li) is to be converted to product in a mixed flow reactor. The kinetics of the reaction is represented by A + B → R, –rA = 200 CACB, mol/li.min. (a) Find the reactor size needed for 99.9% conversion of A. (b) Find the conversion in a 4-liter reactor.arrow_forwardQ2/ An ester is to be prepared in a continuous reactor system. Batch experiments showed that the reaction is first order and irreversible. 50% conversion occurs at 8 minute and 40°C. We need to process 100 gmol. /hr. of 4 molar feed to 95% conversion. Calculate the reactor volumes for this process in: 1. Plug Flow Reactor at 60°C. 2. Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor at 60°C. The activation energy for this reaction is 40KJ/gmol.arrow_forwardI need answer within 20 minutes please please with my best wishesarrow_forward

- When an exothermic reaction proceeds adiabatically in a mixed flow reactor (MFR), outline and explain the characteristic graph of the energy balance and material balance to show that multiple steady states may exist. Also, explain that among multiple steady states, there is an unstable steady state.arrow_forwardFollows an elementary rate law and is carried out isothermally in a flow system. Theconcentrations of the A and B streams are 2M before mixing. 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).
