Question

1. The reaction B → C is carried out in a flow reactor under isothermal conditions. The inlet volumetric flow rate is 10 L/h and the inlet molar flow rate of

B is 4 mol/h. The volumetric flow rate changes little (~o). Calculate the CSTR and PER reactor volumes needed to consume 90% of B, assuming the reaction rate, r is: (a) r=k, with k= 0.05 mol/h-L (b) r=kCB, with k = 1x104 /s (c) r= KCB², with k = 3 L/mol-h What if you instead used a 2000 L batch reactor loaded with the same feed material? How long would it take to consume 90% of B, assuming (d) r = k, with k= 0.05 mol/h-L (e) r=kCB², with k = 3 L/mol-h
