For SO2 oxidation, a mixture of 28% SO2 and 72% air is fed into the flow reactor with a volumetric flow rate of 1500 L/s. The following reaction is carried out at 14.7 atm pressure and 227°C temperature. 2SO2 + O2 = 2SO3 2 2 (-Ra )= 200(L / mol.s) .Cso2.Co2

a) Create a stoichiometric table.

b) Find the concentrations of the components fed to the reactor.

c) Find the CSTR reactor volume required for 60% conversion.

d) If a PFR reactor was used at the same volume of CSTR, what would be the conversion rate and what would be the component concentrations at the reactor outlet

Expert Solution

in option (a) no conversion is given so stoichiometry table is calculated on the basis of mole and conversion variable. Then from design formula of cstr and pfr volume is calculated for same conversions volume of pfr will be less then volume of cstr.

The flow rate of warm air into the air conditioning is 5,000 cfm. An air conditioning system takes outdoor air at 95 degrees F dry-bulb and 70% relative humidity, and discharges it at 60 degrees F dry-bulb and 95% relative humidity. The air conditioning system operates on a vapor compression cycle using R134a between 20 and 200 psia. Refrigerant enters the compressor at 20 degrees F and leaves the compressor at 180 degrees F. Refrigerant enters the evaporator coil at...

Propane is mixed with 20% excess air (propane air mixture is initially at 25 °C and 2.0 atm) and combusted at atmospheric pressure. It is assumed that the heat transfer between the chamber and the surroundings is negligible. In addition, you may assume that heat capacities of the gases are constant and that the reaction proceeds to 100% conversion.
