The following reactions
take place in a batch reactor.
Additional information:
k1 = 1.0 min−1, K1A = 10
k2 = 100 min−1, K2A = 1.5
CA0 = 1 mol/dm3
(Adapted from a problem by John Falconer, University of Colorado.)
- (a) Plot and analyze conversion and the concentrations of A, D, and U as a function of time. When would you stop the reaction to maximize the concentration of D? Describe what you find.
- (b) When does the maximum concentration of U occur?
- (c) What are the equilibrium concentrations of A, D, and U?
- (d) What would be the exit concentrations from a CSTR with a space time of 1.0 min? Of 10.0 min? Of 100 min?
