Q.1. Acetaldehyde is to be decomposed at 5200C and 1 atm. in a CSTR. The reaction is irreversible and 2nd order with respect to acetaldehyde. The reaction rate constant is at 5200C is 0.43 m3/kmol.sec. The feed rate is 0.1 kg/s of pure CH3CHO. What size of mixed flow reactor is needed for 35% conversion?

A homogeneous liquid phase reaction A-R, -rA= KCA, takes place with 50% conversion in a mixed reactor (a) What will be the conversion if this reactor is replaced by another reactor which is 6 times as large as this reactor, all else remaining unchanged. (b) What will be the conversion if the original reactor is replaced by a plug flow reactor of equal size, all else remaining unchanged. Q.III. For reaction
