QUESTION IN IMAGEE
Transcribed Image Text:Company 2 are looking a bimolecular irreversible reaction,
A+B=C+D
To be carried out in a liquid phase plug flow reactor. Given the reaction is second order and
the mass flow of A and B are respectively 85kg/hr and 110kg/hr. The reactor has a volume
of 0.15m³ and is operated isothermally at 112°C giving a conversion of 70%. Can you
conduct the following sub tasks:
(a) From first principles show that the design equation for a plug flow
reactor is:
V₂
FAO
Where,
V₁ = Volume of reactor, m³
FAO = Initial flow of A,
XA = Conversion of A
(-A) = Reaction rate, kmol/hr
-
