The reactions A → B, A--->X and A-----> Y
Is to be carried out isothermally in a continuous-flow reactor. Calculate optimum volume of CSTR in liters at maximum selectivity of B when the entering molar flow rate is 5 mol/h assuming the reaction rate –rA is:
rx = k1 with k1 = 0.05 mol/h.L
rB = k2CA with k2 = 0.0001/s
ry = k3CA^2 with k3 = 3 L/mol.h
The entering flow rate is 10 L/h.
