Chapter 13, Problem 13.4P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The flow rate of the coolant at 2h after the starting the reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The conversion, X can be defined as the moles of any species A that are reacted per mole of A fed in the reactor.

A batch reactor is a closed system with no continuous flow of reactants entering the system or products leaving the system while the reaction takes place.

In most batch reactors, the longer a reactant stays in the reactor, the more the reactant is converted to product until either equilibrium is reached or the reactant is exhausted. Consequently, in batch systems the conversion X is a function of the time the reactants spend in the reactor.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rate of solvent evaporation as function of time is to be stated. The flow rate of the solvent at the end of 2h is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The conversion, X can be defined as the moles of any species A that are reacted per mole of A fed in the reactor.

A batch reactor is a closed system with no continuous flow of reactants entering the system or products leaving the system while the reaction takes place.

In most batch reactors, the longer a reactant stays in the reactor, the more the reactant is converted to product until either equilibrium is reached or the reactant is exhausted. Consequently, in batch systems the conversion X is a function of the time the reactants spend in the reactor.
