Question

A PFR reactor is used to complete the reaction of 3A = 1R + 2S, for this a pure gas A, at 650 kPa (6.4 atm), is fed at a volumetric flow, v_0, of 1 dm³/s and at 400 K Calculate the inlet concentration of A, C_(A_0 ), and the inlet molar flow, F_(A_0 )?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The plug flow reactors are continuous flowing tubular reactors. The plug flow reactors are also known as continuous tubular reactors. The PFR works in a steady-state reactor. It is used for large-scale chemical reactions.
