The following elementary irreversible gas phase reaction takes place in an isothermally operated flow reactor: A + B → C + D The feed enters the reactor at a temperature of 250°C and a pressure of 1300 kPa. The feed composition is 30% species A and 70% species B. The feed flow rate of species A is 200 mol/s. The volume of the flow reactor is 200 L. The rate constant, k, at 250 °C is 110 L/mol.s. The pressure drop across the flow reactor is negligible. (a) Determine the conversion achieved in the flow reactor if it were a PFR. (b) Determine the conversion achieved in the flow reactor if it were a CSTR.

![QUESTION 2
The following elementary irreversible gas phase reaction takes place in an isothermally operated
flow reactor:
A + B → C + D
The feed enters the reactor at a temperature of 250°C and a pressure of 1300 kPa. The feed
composition is 30% species A and 70% species B. The feed flow rate of species A is 200 mol/s.
The volume of the flow reactor is 200 L. The rate constant, k, at 250 °C is 110 L/mol.s. The pressure
drop across the flow reactor is negligible.
(a) Determine the conversion achieved in the flow reactor if it were a PFR.
(b) Determine the conversion achieved in the flow reactor if it were a CSTR.
Additional Data
R = 8.314 J/mol.K = 8.314 L.kPa/mol.K
