    1) Two mixed flow reactors in series were used to study the decomposition of chemical A. The concentration of A was measured after each reactor. The data collected suggests the rate of decomposition of A is first order. 2) Calculations were done to determine the reactor volume and conversion needed for two CSTR reactors, a PFR followed by a CSTR, and a CSTR followed by a PFR to achieve 90% conversion of a reaction that may follow zero, first, or second order kinetics. 3) The problem considers an autocatalytic reaction and recommends a design using four mixed flow reactors connected in some arrangement to process a feed and achieve the highest conversion possible.

    4) Using a color indicator which shows when the concentration of A falls


    below 0.1 mol/liter, the following scheme is devised to explore the kinetics
    of the decomposition of A. A feed of 0.6 mol A/liter is introduced into the
    first of the two mixed flow reactors in series, each having a volume of
    400 cm3. The color change occurs in the first reactor for a steady-state feed
    rate of 10 cm3/min, and in the second reactor for a steady-state feed rate
    of 50 cm3/min. Find the rate equation for the decomposition of A from
    this information.
    5) We wish to produce 90 % conversion in the reaction A → B,
    −𝑟𝐴 = 𝑘𝐶𝐴𝑛 , where k = ¼ (in units of moles, liters, and minutes), CA0 = 2
    moles/liter, and n may be 1, 2 or 0.
    (a) Find 𝜏 required and the intermediate conversion in two equal-volume
    CSTR reactors for these values of n.
    (b) From a 1/-rA plot solve these problems graphically.
    (c) Find 𝜏 and the intermediate conversion in an equal-volume PFR + CSTR.
    (d) Find 𝜏 and the intermediate conversion in an equal-volume CSTR + PFR.
    6) Consider the autocatalytic reaction A → R, with -rA = 0.001 CACR mol/
    1iter.s. We wish to process 1.5 liters/s of a CAo = 10 mol/liter feed to the
    highest conversion possible in the reactor system consisting of four 100-
    liter mixed flow reactors connected as you wish and any feed
    arrangement.
    Sketch your recommended design and feed arrangement and determine
    CAf from this system.
