CDP2-FA
A 400-L CSTR and a 100-L PFR are available to process 1.0 L of
feed per second. The feed contains 41% A, 41% B, and 18% inerts. The irreversible
gas-phase reaction
is to be carried out at 10 atm and 227°C. The rate of reaction in g mol/Lmin is given below as a function of conversion:
(a) What is the maximum conversion that can be achieved
with these two reactors connected in series? (Ans.: X C,P = 0.445, X P,C . = 0.515.) |
