Q2/ An ester is to be prepared in a continuous reactor system. Batch experiments showed that the reaction is first order and irreversible. 50% conversion occurs at 8 minute and 40°C. We need to process 100 gmol. /hr. of 4 molar feed to 95% conversion. Calculate the reactor volumes for this process in: 1. Plug Flow Reactor at 60°C. 2. Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor at 60°C. The activation energy for this reaction is 40KJ/gmol.
