The liquid phase second order irreversible reaction A B is to be carried out into equal- sized CSTRS connected in series. The two reactors will be necessary to operate at different temperatures. The reaction rates in each reactor will be the same. The volumetric feed rate and initial concentration of A are 28 liter/sec and 1 gmol/liter respectively. The second reactor operates at 120 °C where the reaction rate constant is 1.5x103 liter/gmol.sec. Find the volume of the reactors to achieve 90 % conversion up to second reactor. The activation energy for the reaction is 70 kJ/gmol. Find also the temperature of the first reactor.

Question
? 2~ The liquid phase second order irreversible reaction A—B is to be carried out into equal- sized CSTRs connected in series. The two reactors will be necessary to operate at different temperatures. The reaction rates in each reactor will be the same. The volumetric feed rate and initial concentration of A are 28 liter/sec and 1 gmol/liter respectively. The second reactor operates at 120 °C where the reaction rate constant is 1.5x107 liter/gmol.sec. Find the volume of the reactors to achieve 90 % conversion up to second reactor. The activation energy for the reaction is 70 kJ/gmol. Find also the temperature of the first reactor.
2- The liquid phase second order irreversible reaction A-→B is to be carried out into equal- sized CSTRS connected in series. The two reactors will be necessary to operate at different temperatures. The reaction rates in each reactor will be the same. The volumetric feed rate and initial concentration of A are 28 liter/sec and 1 gmol/liter respectively. The second reactor operates at 120 °C where the reaction rate constant is 1.5x10³ liter/gmol.sec. Find the volume of the reactors to achieve 90 % conversion up to second reactor. The activation energy for the reaction is 70 kJ/gmol. Find also the temperature of the first reactor.
