P4-7, The elementary gas-phase reaction (CH,),COOC(CH,),→C,H, +2CH,COCH, is carried out isothermally in a flow reactor with no pressure drop. The spe- cific reaction rate at 50°C is 10-4 min- (from pericosity data) and the acti- vation energy is 85 kJ/mol. Pure di-tert-butyl peroxide enters the reactor at 10 atm and 127°C and a molar flow rate of 2.5 mol/min. Calculate the reactor

avoid typing answers and please answer letters a,b, and e. this is from elements of chemical engineering by fogler 4th ed. 

P4-7, The elementary gas-phase reaction (CH,),COOC(CH,),→C;H, +2CH;COCH, is carried out isothermally in a flow reactor with no pressure drop. The spe- cific reaction rate at 50°C is 10-4 min- (from pericosity data) and the acti- vation energy is 85 kJ/mol. Pure di-tert-butyl peroxide enters the reactor at 10 atm and 127 C and a molar flow rate of 2.5 mol/min. Calculate the reactor volume and space time to achieve 90% conversion in: (a) a PFR (Ans.: 967 dm) (b) a CSTR (Ans.: 4700 dm)

Calculate the reactor volume and space time to achieve 90% conversion in: (a) a PFR (Ans.: 967 dm) (b) a CSTR (Ans.: 4700 dm)
(e) If this reaction is to be carried out isothermally at 127°C and an initial pressure of 10 atm in a constant-volume batch mode with 90% conver- sion, what reactor size and cost would be required to process (2.5 mol/min X 60 min/h x 24 h/day) 3600 mol of di-tert-butyl peroxide per day? (Hint: Recall Table 4-1.)
