Problem Set # 3

This document contains information about several chemical reactors processing reactant A into product R. It includes: 1) A plug flow reactor processing an aqueous feed of reactant A at 100 mmol/liter undergoing a reversible reaction. 2) A mixed flow reactor with a gaseous feed of pure reactant A at 1 mol/liter to achieve an outlet concentration of 0.5 mol/liter. 3) A batch reactor to convert reactant A to product R with an initial concentration of 1.3 mol/liter and final concentration of 0.3 mol/liter.

5.6.

A plug flow reactor (2 m3) processes an aqueous feed (100 liter/min)


containing reactant A (CAO = 100 mmol/liter). This reaction is reversible and
represented by

First find the equilibrium conversion and then find the actual conversion of A in
the reactor.

5.15 A gaseous feed of pure A (1 mol/liter) enters a mixed flow reactor (2 liters)
and reacts as follows:

Find what feed rate (liter/minute) will give an outlet concentration CA= 0.5
mol/liter.

5.21 We are planning to operate a batch reactor to convert A into R. This is a liquid
reaction, the stoichiometry is A R, and the rate of reaction is given in Table 5.21.
How long must we react each batch for the concentration to drop from CAO = 1.3
mol/liter and CAf = 0.3 mol/liter.

5.33.
(a) For the reaction of Problem 5.21, what size of mixed flow reactor is needed for
75% conversion of a feed stream of 1000 mol A/hr at CAO = 1.2 mol/liter?
(b) Repeat part (a) with the modification that the feed rate is doubled, thus 2000
mol A/hr at CAO = 1.2 mol/liter are to be treated.
(c) Repeat part (a) with the modification that CAO = 2.4 mol/liter; however, 1000
mol A/hr are still to be treated down to CAf = 0.3 mol/liter.
