Question: Reactant A decomposes in an isothermal batch reactor (C A0 = 100) to produce wanted R and unwanted S, and the following progressive concentration readings
Reactant A decomposes in an isothermal batch reactor (CA0 = 100) to produce wanted R and unwanted S, and the following progressive concentration readings are recorded:
Additional runs show that adding R or S does not affect the distribution of products formed and that only A does. Also, it is noted that the total number of moles of A, R, and S is constant.
(a) Find the φversus CA curve for this reaction. With a feed of CA0 = 100 and CAf = 10, find C,
(b) From a mixed flow reactor,
(c) From a plug flow reactor,
(d) And (e): Repeat parts (b) and (c) with the modification that CA0 = 70.
CA CR (100) 90 1 4 (0) 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 55 64 9 16 25 35 45 (0) (71)
