Transcribed Image Text:The following set of mechanistic equations shows the multiple reactions involving aluminium
catalyst-complex intermediate in the reaction which is consistent with their experimental
results. It was found butadiene was rapidly consumed in this reaction.

Transcribed Image Text:(a) These investigators reported that reaction is an elementary and the second-order rate
constant for the reaction is equal to 1.15 x 10° mI(mol-s) at 20 °C. Determine the
volume of Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) that would be necessary to achieve 40%
conversion of the feed butadiene assuming isothermal operating conditions and a liquid
feed rate of 0.500 x 10° m°/s. The feed concentrations (in mol/m°) are as follows:
Butadiene (B): 96.5 mol/m
Methyl acrylate (M): 193 mol/m³
AICI3 (A): 6.63 mol/m3
Plot the concentration profile (concentration versus the length of the reactor) of the
reactants and products as the reaction taking place in the reactor. Discuss your
predicted findings from your assumed range of tested data. Hint: Use Microsoft Excel
for instance to test your concentration profile.
