1. Consider a reversible gas-phase reaction, A+B +C is carried out in an isothermal flow reactor with no pressure drop. The feed enters at a flow rate of 2.5 mol/min. The inlet concentration of A is 0.2 mol/dm. The reaction rate constant is 0.044 min!. a) Develop stoichiometric table for forward reaction only. b) Calculate conversion if the equilibrium constant is 0.025. c) Calculate CSTR volume using conversion from part (b). d) If the reaction is irreversible, calculate new conversion if the volume of CSTR reactor is 100 dm. e) If two CSTR reactor from part (d) is arranged in series and parallel positions, which arrangement will be used?
