Question

A CSTR is used to carry out liquid-phase reactions as described below.

2A + B -> 3C + D                           -r1A = k1A C2ACB

A + 2 D -> E                                   r2E = k2E CAC2D

B +  D ->  2E                                   -r3B = k3B CBCD

The reaction conditions are determined to be:  

T = 313 K; k1A = 5.5 dm6 /(mol2•min); k2E = 1.8 dm6 /(mol2•min); k3B = 1.2 dm3 /(mol•min)

At steady state, the concentrations of A, B, C, and D are measured to be: 0.7, 0.8, 0.6, and 0.08 mol/dm3, while E is not measured.

1. Write the net formation rate of every species involved;

2. For species A, give your own values of its volumetric flowrate, and initial concentration, then calculate the volume of the reactor.
