The liquid-phase reaction A+B ⎯⎯→ Cfollows an elementary rate law and is carried out isothermally in a flow system. The concentrations of the A and B feed streams are 2Mbefore mixing. The volumetric flow rate of each stream is5 dm3/min, and the entering temperature is 300 K. The streams are mixed immediately before entering.Two reactors are available. One is a gray, 200.0-dm3CSTR that can be heated to 77oC or cooled to0oC, and the other is a white, 800.0-dm3PFR operated at 300 K that cannot be heated or cooled but can be painted red or black. Note thatk=0.07 dm3/mol.min at 300 K andE=20 kcal/mol. (a)Which reactor and what conditions do you recommend? Explain the reason for your choice (e.g.,color, cost, space available, weather conditions). Back up your reasoning with the appropriate calculations
