Consider a PFR in which the conversion (extent of reaction) is 99.5 percent for a first-order reaction. a. What would be the conversion in a completely mixed flow reactor of the same volume? b. What would be the conversion in that reactor if the dispersion number E/vL =1? c. What would the conversion be if the length was doubled but the residence time remained the same? (Assume E is the same as the original.)

Question

Consider a PFR in which the conversion (extent of reaction) is 99.5
percent for a first-order reaction.


a. What would be the conversion in a completely mixed flow reactor
of the same volume?
b. What would be the conversion in that reactor if the dispersion
number E/vL =1?
c. What would the conversion be if the length was doubled but the
residence time remained the same? (Assume E is the same as the
original.)
