28.- One of the key steps in the design of the equipment for the production of acetic anhydride is the cracking of acetone according to the reaction: СH-СОСH, — CН-СО + СH4 This reaction occurs in gas phase and follows a first order kinetics with respect to acetone. The rate constant is given by the expression: In k = 34.34 – (34222/T) (T in K, k in s') 8000 kg/h of acetone are going to be fed into a plug flow reactor. Considering that the reactor works adiabatically, the feeding is pure acetone, inlet temperature is 1035 K and pressure is 1.6 atm (the latter is constant along the reactor), which volume of reactor will be required to achieve a conversion of 20%? Data: Cp acetone = 164 J/(mol·K), C, ketene = 96 J/(mol·K), C, methane = 60 J/(mol·K) %3D AH(298K) = 80.8 kJ/molacetone
