The exothermic reaction
A--->B + C
was carried out adiabatically and the following data recorded:
The entering molar flow rate of A was 300 mol/min.
(a) What are the PFR and CSTR volumes necessary to achieve 40 % conversion?
(b) Over what range of conversions would the CSTR and PFR reactor volumes be identical?
(c) What is the maximum conversion that can be achieved in a 105 dm3 CSTR?
(d) What conversion can be achieved if a 72 dm3 PFR is followed in series by a 24 dm3 CSTR?
(e) What conversion can be achieved if a 24 dm3 CSTR is followed in a series by a 72 dm3 PFR?
(f) Plot the conversion and rate of reaction as a function of PFR reactor volume up to a volume of 100 dm3.
