Question 15.10: A liquid-phase autocatalytic irreversible reaction, A → B + ...
A liquid-phase autocatalytic irreversible reaction, A → B + . . . ., is to be carried out isothermally in a continuous flow reactor. The fractional conversion of A ( f_A) is to be 90%, the feed rate ( q_o) is 0.5 L s^{-1}, and the feed concentration ( c_{Ao} ) is 1.5 mol L^{-1} . The rate law is ( -r_A ) = k_Ac_Ac_B , with k_A = 0.002 L mol ^{-1} s^{-1} . There is no B in the feed.
(a) What is the volume (V/L) required for a CSTR?
(b) What is the volume required for a PFR?
(c) What is the minimum volume required for a PFR with recycle?
