An elementary liquid phase reaction A+B>C was conducted in two continous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) connected in series. The feed in the first reactor consist of 5 L/s of A and 2 mol/L of B. Each reactor has a volume of 100 L and operated at the same conditions with k-1 L/mol.s.

QI:
An elementary liquid phase reaction A+B-C was conducted in two continous stirred tank
reactors (CSTR) connected in series. The feed in the first reactor consist of 5 L/s of A and 2 mol/L
of B. Each reactor has a volume of 100 L and operated at the same conditions with k 1 L/mol.s.
a) Determine the yield of C (in terms of molar flow rate) in the exit of the second reactor if
the feed solutions are equimolar and equal volumetric.
b) For the same final conversion, suggest the best flow reactor system if the reaction ist
conducted in a single reactor.
Q2:
In a plug flow reactor, a gaseous feed of pure A (2 mol/L, 100 mol/min) decomposes to give a
variety of products. The kinetics of the reaction is represented by:
A-2.5 products
-TA 10 min CA.
Plot the conversion profile along the length of the reactor (V- 22 L, D-0.18 m).
