Tutorial 4

This document provides information and questions about gas and liquid phase reactions taking place in continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) and plug flow reactors (PFR). It asks the reader to determine reactor volumes needed for specific conversions, compares which reactor would achieve higher conversion for an irreversible reaction, and asks the reader to determine conversion for a reversible reaction given kinetic and equilibrium data.

TUTORIAL 4- Topic 4

1. The elementary gas phase reaction takes place in a CSTR at constant


temperature 500K and constant pressure 16.4 atm. The feed is equal molar in
A and B. Determine the volume of CSTR to achieve 90% conversion. Given k
is 10 dm6/mol2.s and feed of A is 5 mol/s.

2. Repeat the question 1 for PFR.

3. The elementary, liquid-phase, irreversible reaction

is to be carried out in a flow reactor. Two reactors are available, an 800


dm3 PFR that can only be operated at 300 K and a 200 dm 3 CSTR that can be
operated at 350 K. The two feed streams to the reactor mix to form a single
fee d stream that is equal molar in A and B, with a total volumetric flowrate of
10 dm3/min. Which of the two reactors will give us the highest conversion?

Additional Information: at 300 K, k = 0.07 dm3/mol-min


E = 85000 J/mol-K
CA0B = CB0B = 2 mol/dm 3
vA0 = vB0 = 0.5*v0 = 5 dm3/min

4. For data given below, determine the volume required to achieve 50% and
80% conversion
a) CSTR
b) PFR

X 0 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.7 0.8


FAo/-ra 0.89 1.08 1.33 2.05 3.54 5.06 8.0

5. Write the rate law for this reversible reaction


A 2B

6. For reversible gas phase reaction

Determine the conversion achieved in PFR for 80% equilibrium conversion.
Given data as below:
