Chapter 8: Multiple Reactions
Additional Homework Problems
CDP8-MB
The reaction sequence discussed in Example 8-8 is to be carried out in a microscale "fluidized" CSTR. The CSTR catalyst weight is 3 g. All of the conditions in the problem statement are the same except that the reaction is to be carried out at a slightly higher temperature and the rate constants are:
k1 = 10 m9/(kmol2*kg cat*min) k2 = 4 (m6/(kmol*kg cat*min)
k3 = 15 m9/(kmol2*kg cat*min) k410 m3(m3/kmol)2/3/kg cat*min
(a) What are the exiting molar flow rates of each species?
(b) What is the overall yield of:
(1) A to E?
(2) B to F?
(3) A to C?
