second-order irreversible elementary reaction 2A -> product is carried out in a batch reactor. It was found that it took 30 min for a reaction to reach 90% conversion. What would be the time required to reach the same degree of conversion if (a) the initial concentration of A was doubled, (b) the reaction rate constant was doubled, and (c) the reactor volume was doubled.

The disinfection of water is carried out in a stirred tank. The treatment process has water as the input at a rate of 38 000 L/h. The tank carries 3800 L of water at all times. Sufficient chlorine is fed to the water. The rate of disinfec- tion can be described as a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 0.055/min. The efficiency of the system can be expected to be

(a) Prove that for a first order decay reaction (k1= 2 days-1) taking place in reactors of identical size at steady state, it does not matter if you use a CMFR followed by a PFR or a PFR followed by a CMFR (i.e. show that the final treated effluent concentration, in mg/L, is approx. the same in each scenario). Assume the volume of each reactor is 15 L and the reactors in series will be used to treat a wastewater containing 5 mg/L of contaminant “C” at a flowrate of 10 L/day. (b) Does this remain true if a second order decay reaction was taking place? If not, which sequence of reactors is more efficient (i.e. removes more of the contaminant)? Assume the same reactor volumes, flow rate and contaminant concentration as in part (a), and k2 = 2 Lmg-1day-1 . You must show your derivation of the expression for a PFR with 2nd order decay.
