A type A -> R reaction with reaction rate represented by -rA = 2CA^2 (mol / L.min) is carried out in a combination of reactors described below. Determine the volume of the CSTR reactors (equal volumes, ie V2 = V3) so that the association output conversion (XA) is 75%. Reactor 1 is PFR and reactors 2 and 3 are CSTR.

Question
A type A -> R reaction with reaction rate represented by -rA = 2CA^2 (mol / L.min) is carried out in a combination of reactors described below.
Determine the volume of the CSTR reactors (equal volumes, ie V2 = V3) so that the association output conversion (XA) is 75%. Reactor 1 is PFR and reactors 2 and 3 are CSTR.
Transcribed Image Text:V1 = 150 L/min
V1 = 300 L
CAO = 2 mol/L
ХА
V2 = 250 L/min
V2 = ?
V3 = ?
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given
v1=150
v2=250
V1=300 L
CA0=2
XA=0.75
CA2=2x(1-0.75)
CA2=0.5
