Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of catalyst needed for conversion in the new plant at 46% should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Plug–flow reactor: It is type of continuous flow reactor which is operator under steady state. It is the system where flow field modeled by that of plug–flow profile which will have no radial variation in reaction rate.

ELEMENTS OF CHEM. REACTION ENGR, Chapter 5, Problem 5.18P

The ideal plug flow reactor depends only on total volume but not on its shape.

The mole balance for plug flow reactor in integral form is represented as follows,

    V=FA0XinXoutdXrA

Continuous–stirred tank reactors (CSTR): It is type of continuous flow reactor which is commonly used in industrial processes. It is also known as backmix reactor which used for reactions in liquid phase.

The design equations for CSTR in algebraic form is V=FA0XrA
