An elementary second order adiabatic reaction C + D → E + G is taking place in a
CSTR. The feed to the reactor is equimolar C and D at concentrations of 3.6 mol/liter.
The entering temperature is 300K. The volumetric flow rate is 10 liter/min. This reactor
has a conversion of 75%. Following are some other data characterizing the reaction:
Cpc = 25 cal/mol-K ; C,p = 15 cal/mol-K ; CpE = 10 cal/mol-K ;
Cp.G = 30 cal/mol-K ; AHR×(300K) = –8000 cal/mol of A
k (300K) = 0.055 liter/mol-min ; E = 25000 cal/mol
(a)
Calculate the final temperature of the reactor
(b)
Calculate the reaction constant, k at final temperature
Calculate the reactor volume
