Question 1
The gas phase reaction
2 A+ B 2 C
Question 2
The following reversible, elementary, liquid phase
reaction occurs in a PFR:
A B
KC
Xmb
Xeb
-rA
1/-rA
Additional information:
CpA = CpB = 50 cal/mol/K
Hrxn = -10,000 cal/mol A
k and KC are given in Figure 1 and Figure 2, consequently.
Question 3
The gas phase irreversible reaction
A+BC
is elementary. The entering flow rate of A is 10 mol/min
and is equal molar in A and B. The entering concentration
of A is 0.4 mol/dm3.
a) What is the CSTR reactor volume necessary to
achieve 90% conversion?
b)What PFR volume is necessary to achieve 90%
conversion?
Additional Information:
k = 2 dm3/molmin
T0 = 500 K
Question 4
The irreversible zero order gas phase dimerization
2A A2
is carried out in a packed bed reactor with 5 kg of
catalyst. The entering pressure is 10 atm and the exit
pressure is 1 atm. Pure A enters at a flow rate of 10
mol/min. The reaction is zero order in A.
P0 = 10 atm
FA0 = 10 mol/min
P = 1 atm
