    CHE412- Chemical Reaction Engineering I

    1- a) A liquid phase reaction is represented as shown;


    3A + 2B 3C +D
    Assuming A is the limiting reactant and the reaction is to be carried out in a batch reactor;
    (i) Write the expressions for the concentrations of the species; CA, CB, CC and CD as
    functions of conversions. (10 mk)
    (ii) If equal initial concentrations of A and B (CAo = CBo = 0.5 mol/L) were fed to the
    reactor and 80% conversion is expected, calculate the concentrations of the 4 species exiting
    the reactor. (10 mk).
    2- A certain reaction takes place in two CSTR reactors connected in Series as shown:

    The preliminary laboratory test gave the results in the table below:
    XA 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8
    FAo/-rA 0.89 1.33 2.05 3.56 8

    a) Find the volume of each reactor and the overall volume necessary to achieve the conversion.
    (5 mk)
    b) What would be the volume if only one CSTR was used? Comment on the result. (5 mk)
    c) Supposing that two PFRs were used for the same reaction instead of the CSTRS as shown in
    the figure, what would be the volumes of each and therefore the total volumes (10 mk)
    NB: X1 = 0.4 and X2 = 0.8

    3- A second order reaction 2A B + C is carried out in a batch reactor.

    a) Calculate the time required to achieve 90% conversion. Take kCAo = 10-3 s-1
    (10 mk)
    -4 -1
    b) If the reaction was first order with k =10 s , how would this affect the time required for
    the same conversion? Comment on the result (10 mk)
    4- For a given CAo, the space time needed to achieve 80% conversion in a CSTR reactor is 5 hours.
    a) Determine the volume of the CSTR reactor required to process a volumetric flow rate of vo =
    0.03 m3/min to achieve the said conversion. What is the space time (6 mk)
    b) A gaseous reaction ½ N2(g) + 3/2 H2 (g) NH 3(g) for the formation of ammonia is to be
    carried out isothermally at 227oC with a constant pressure of 16.4 atm. The flow system is
    equimolar feeds of N2 and H2. State whether vo changes as a result of conversion or not and
    calculate concentrations of the species; H2, N2, and NH3 for a 60% conversion of the limiting
    reactant. Assume ideal gas behaviour.

    5- a) A liquid decomposes by first order kinetic and in a batch reactor 50% of A is converted in a 5-
    minutes run. How much longer would it take to reach 75% conversion? (5 mk)
    b) In a homogeneous isothermal liquid polymerization, 20% of the monomer disappears in 34 mins
    for initial monomer concentration of 0.04 mol/hr and also for 0.8 mol/hr. What rate equation
    represents the disappearance of the monomer? (5 mk)
    c) The first order reversible liquid reaction A R takes place in a batch reactor. After 8 minutes
    conversion of A was 33.3% while equilibrium conversion (XAe) = 66.7%. Find the rate equation
    for this reaction. (10 mk)
    6- a) A homogeneous gas reaction A 3R has a reported rate of at 215 oC as; -rA = 10-2 CA½
    (mol/L.s). Find the space time needed for 80% conversion of a 50% A -50% inert feed to a PFR
    operating at 215oC and 5 atm. (CAo = 0.0625 mol/L) (10 mk)
    b) A homogeneous gas decomposition of phosphine; 4PH 3(g) P 4(g) + 6H2 proceeds at 649oC
    with a first order rate; -rA = 10/hr CPH3. What size of a PFR reactor operating at 649 oC and 460 kPa
    can produce 80% conversion of a feed of 40 mol of pure phosphine (PH3) per hour?
    7) The reaction: A  B; KC = 5.8 takes place in two PFRs in series as shown;
    Calculate the conversion at the exit of reactor 2. (20 mk)
