The elementary irreversible phase reaction A + B ⎯⎯ → C is carried out adiabatically in a flow reactor. An
equal molar feed in A and B enters at 27℃, and the volumetric flow rate is 2 𝑑𝑚3 /𝑠.
a) Calculate the PFR and CSTR volumes necessary to achieve 85 % conversion.
b) Plot the conversion and temperature as a function of PFR volume.
k ( 300 K ) = 1  10 −2 dm3 / mol  s E A = 10 kcal / mol C A0 = 0.1 kmol/m3
H Ao ( 273 K ) = −20 kcal / mol, H Bo ( 273 K ) = −15 kcal / mol, H Co ( 273 K ) = −41 kcal / mol
C pA = C pB = 15 cal/mol  K , C pC = 30 cal/mol  K
