Problem 1) Sketch a process flow diagram for a continuous-stirred tank reactor where it is receiving a feed of 200 liters per hour and a reactant concentration of 4.0 gmoles/L for species A and 1.5 gmoles/L for species B. The reaction is 2A + B → C in the reactor is elementary and follows third-order kinetics for the overall reaction. Assume that the fractional conversion of the reactor is 85%. Label both the input streams and the output streams, listing all species that will be in each stream. Your quantities or variables in the diagram should be consistent in units of measurement (i.e. use only one unit of measurement to express volume for instance).

Your quantities or variables in the diagram should be consistent in units of measurement (i.e. use only one unit of measurement to express volume for instance).

Problem 2) Write (but do not solve) the mole balance for the CSTR reactor in Problem 1 with respect to the limiting reactant in the system described above. Re-arrange this mole balance to show an expression for the CSTR’s volume. Assume that neither the reactor’s conversion nor the rate constant have been specified (leave them as variables).

 

please help w/ both if possible type answer i have included diagram that i created, not sure if its right
