Case 1 Adiabatic
(i) Vary inlet flow rate of inert and observe the conversion and temperature profiles. Describe what you find.
(ii) Find inlet temperature, T₀, for which the reaction rate at V = 0.001 m3 is 0.1 times the rate at inlet. Note the conversion at the reactor exit for this temperature.
(iii) After varying two other parameters, write a set of conclusions from your experiments in (i) and (ii).
Case 2 Constant Ta
(iv) To reduce operating cost, the inlet temperature of heating fluid can be reduced. Can you find a minimum temperature of heating fluid at which exit conversion is virtually 100% for constant Ta.
(v) Find maximum value of the inlet concentration for which the conversion at exit is virtually 100% constant Ta.
(vi) Write a set of conclusions from your experiments in (iv) and (v).
