The gas phase reaction A → 2R + ½S is carried out in a tubular reactor with the following reaction and reactor conditions: (i) Reaction = First Order; (ii) Reactor Dimensions: diameter = 50 cm and length = 6 m; (iii) Power is made from the introduction of a single power current with 60% by weight of A and 40% by weight of aggregate; (iv) Global feeding of 400 mol/hour; (v) Feed current conditions: temperature of 25°C and pressure of 4 atm; (vi) Reactor temperature = 200 °C; (vii) Conversion obtained: 75%; (viii) Molecular Weights: Reagent A = 38 g/gmol; inert = 28 g/gmol. What is the volume of a mixing reactor operating under the same feed conditions as the tubular reactor and at the same conversion?

Question

The gas phase reaction A → 2R + ½S is carried out in a tubular reactor with the following reaction and reactor conditions:
(i) Reaction = First Order;
(ii) Reactor Dimensions: diameter = 50 cm and length = 6 m;
(iii) Power is made from the introduction of a single power current
with 60% by weight of A and 40% by weight of aggregate;
(iv) Global feeding of 400 mol/hour;
(v) Feed current conditions: temperature of 25°C and pressure of 4 atm;
(vi) Reactor temperature = 200 °C;
(vii) Conversion obtained: 75%;
(viii) Molecular Weights: Reagent A = 38 g/gmol; inert = 28 g/gmol.
What is the volume of a mixing reactor operating under the same feed conditions as the tubular reactor and at the same conversion?
