Question
QUESTION 1 The following elementary irreversible liquid phase reaction takes place in an isothermally operated CSTR: A + B → C The feed enters the 175 L CSTR at a temperature of 27°C. The volumetric flow rate to the reactor is 2 L/s. The feed is composed of 50% species A and the rest species B. The feed concentration of species A is 0.1 mol/L. The pressure drop across the reactor is negligible. The same reaction is to be carried out in a 100 L CSTR with the same feed flow rate, composition and concentration as the 175 L CSTR. (a) Determine the temperature at which the 100 L CSTR should be operated at in order to achieve the same conversion as the 175 L CSTR. (b) Is the 100 L CSTR suitable if the maximum operating temperature of the reactor is 45°C. Additional Data K = 0.83 L/mol.s at 293 K E = 41 850 J/mol R = 8.314 J/mol.K = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K = 0.082 m³.atm/kmol.K [17]
