You have two CSTRs and two PFRs, each with a volume of 1.6 m3. Use Figure 2-2B on page 41 to calculate the conversion for each of the reactors in the following arrangements.
- (a) Two CSTRs in series.
- (b) Two PFRs in series.
- (c) Two CSTRs in parallel with the feed, FA0, divided equally between the two reactors.
- (d) Two PFRs in parallel with the feed divided equally between the two reactors.
- (e) Caution: Part (e) is a C level problem. A CSTR and a PFR in parallel with the flow equally divided. Calculate the overall conversion, Xov
- (f) A PFR followed by a CSTR.
- (g) A CSTR followed by a PFR.
- (h) A PFR followed by two CSTRs. Is this arrangement a good arrangement or is there a better one?
