5. PLUG FLOW REACTOR SYSTEM

Problem Statement:

Plug flow reactor performance:

a. A homogeneous gas reaction A→3R has a reported rate at 215oC
-rA=10-2CA1/2 mol/liter.sec
Find the space time needed for 80% conversion of 50% A- 50% inert feed to a plug flow
reactor shown in Figure 5.1., operating at 215oC and 5 atm, CAo=0.0625 mol/liter.

Figure 5.1: Plug flow reactor

Problem Statement:

Plug flow reactor volume:

b. The homogeneous gas decomposition of phosphine as shown in Figure 5.2,

4PH3(g)  P4(g) +6H2

proceeds at 649oC with the first-order rate

-rPH3= (10/hr)CPH3

What size of plug flow reactor operating at 649°C and 460 kPa, can produce 80%conversion
of a feed consisting of 40 mol of pure phosphine per hour? Solve this using Simpsons rule
and Trapezoidal rule in MATLAB Programming.
