Information

An isothermal gas-phase decomposition reaction is given by Eq. 1:

A → B → C

The reaction is set at 300 °F and 10 atm. The reaction takes place in a 2-m plug flow reactor (PFR) that initially has A and B at 5 and 2
kmol/m3, respectively.

The following table lists the concentrations of the intermediate product (B) throughout the decomposition reaction along the PFR.

Note: A plug flow reactor (PFR) is sometimes called a continuous tubular reactor (CTR).

Question 2

The same reaction is performed in an isothermal batch mode reactor. Since the process is in the gas phase, it is a must to monitor the
pressure profile during the reaction. The design equation is explained in the following equation:

dP ′ α
= k (3P 0 − P )
dt

Using Euler’s and Runge–Kutta Fourth Order methods, complete the following table and plot the pressure–time data in the range of 0–20
min on the same graph paper. Set the step size to 5 min. Before the reaction begins, the pressure inside the reactor is 7.5 mm Hg. Based on
previous experiments, the reaction kinetics parameter k′ is 0.08 min−1 and the α value is 1.

Note: Use 4 decimal places in every calculation step.
