Question

 The elementary irreversible organic liquid-phase reaction A+B→C is
carried out adiabatically in a flow reactor. An equal molar feed in A and B enters
at 27⁰C, and the volumetric flow rate is 4 dm3/s and CAo= 0.2 kmol/m3.
(a) Calculate the PER and CSTR volumes necessary to achieve 75% conversion.
What are the reasons for the differences?
(b) What is the maximum inlet temperature one could have so that the boiling
point of the liquid (650 K) would not be exceeded even for complete conversion?
(c) Plot the conversion and temperature as a function of PFR volume (i.e.,
distance down the reactor) 

1) The elementary irreversible organic liquid-phase reaction A+B C is carried out adiabatically in a flow reactor. An equal molar feed in A and B enters at 27°C, and the volumetric flow rate is 4 dm/s and CAo= 0.2 kmol/m?. (a) Calculate the PER and CSTR volumes necessary to achieve 75% conversion. What are the reasons for the differences? (b) What is the maximum inlet temperature one could have so that the boiling point of the liquid (650 K) would not be exceeded even for complete conversion? (c) Plot the conversion and temperature as a function of PFR volume (i.e., distance down the reactor). H (273) = -20 kcal/mol, H(273) = -15 kcal/mol, HE(273) = -41 kcal/mol %3D = 15 cal/mol · K C. = 30 cal/mol · K k = 0.01 dm? at 300 K E = 10,000 cal/mol mol ·s
