Question
Liquid phase reaction (2nd order) : A + B ® product is carried out in a PFR operating isothermal at a temperature of 50oC. Reaction rate equation : -rA = 50 (L/mol.min) CA CB Desired conversion A = 80%. Feed flow rate = 0,5 L/min Concentration of A in feed (CAo) = 0,1 mol/L = CBo Calculate the volume of reactor if used : 1. a PFR 2. an MFR 3. 3 MFRs in series with same volume
Transcribed Image Text:2. Liquid phase reaction (2nd order) :
A +B → product
is carried out in a PFR operating isothermal at a temperature of 50°C.
Reaction rate equation :
-TA = 50 (L/mol.min) CA CB
Desired conversion A = 80%.
Feed flow rate = 0,5 L/min
Concentration of A in feed (CAO) = 0,1 mol/L = CBo
Calculate the volume of reactor if used :
1. a PFR
2. an MFR
3. 3 MFRS in series with same volume
