Question
For the liquid phase reaction system,
A+B →D rı = kı CA CB
AH:(200 °C) = -200 kJ/mol
A+B →U 2= k2 Ca² CB
AH,(200 °C) = -150 kJ/mol
Eal =100 kJ/mol and Ea2 = 50 kJ/mol, where Eal and E2 are the activation energies for ki
and k2, respectively. Both reactions can be considered irreversible and heats of both
reactions are constant.
Starting with A and B in equal concentrations and a conversion of 70% is required for A.
Explain and justify your answer.
1)
selectivity to D? The reactor will be operated isothermally at 200 °C and pressure
drop is negligible.
What reactor (CSTR or PFR) would you choose to maximize the total
2)
With an inlet temperature of 200 °C, if we need to design a CSTR, should the
reactor be operated adiabatically or isothermally to maximize the total selectivity to
D?
