non-reverse liquid phase reaction A>R

CAo=4mol/L, space time=120/hr, k=0.2[mol/L*sec^2]^0.5

How I know conversion A at each reactor?

1) PFR

2) CSTR

Expert Solution

Please note that in the question it is given that Space time = 120/ hr , but looking at the unit we can understant that the given quantity is actually space velocity and not space time.

[ unit of space time = (time)

unit of space velocity = (time^-1) ]

Hence we have C_A0 = 4 mol/L

k = 0.2 mol^0.5/ L^0.5 sec

space velocity, v = 120/hr = (120/3600) sec^-1 = 0.03333 sec^-1

space time

Now please see the images attached for the solution

Initial concentration= 1mol/L, velocity of flow=2000L/min, liquid phase reactant enter the reactor. (-rA=kCA^2 , k=5000L/mol*min) We...

Initial concentration= 1mol/L, velocity of flow=2000L/min, liquid phase reactant enter the reactor. (-rA=kCA^2 , k=5000L/mol*min) We want to achieve a conversion of 90 % of the reactant. 1) Find the volume of the reactor when using the CSTR reactor. And find the volume of the reactor when using the PFR reactor. 2) Find the conversion of A at the exit of the reactor when you make the volume of the PFR reactor equal to that of the CSTR reactor saved...
