Gas-Phase Reaction in a Microreactor—Molar Flow Rates
The gas-phase reaction

2NOC1 ⎯⎯→ 2NO+C1₂
is carried out at 425°C and 1641 kPa (16.2 atm). Pure NOCl is to be fed, and the reaction follows an elementary rate law.² It is desired to produce 20 tons of NO per year in a microreactor system using a bank of ten microreactors in parallel. Each microreactor has 100 channels with each channel 0.2 mm square and 250 mm in length.
(a) Plot and analyze the molar flow rates as a function of volume down the length of the reactor. The volume of each channel is 10^–5 dm³.
(b) What is the reactor volume necessary to achieve 85% conversion?
