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?
