2 3 01) 175 Pts] The liquid-phase reaction (AB+C) takes place isothermally at a steady state. The volumetric flow rate is 10 L/s and is constant. The original feed contains A at a concentration of 0.2 mol/L and contains neither B nor C. The experimental reaction rate is reported in the following table. CSTR and/or PFR are used for this reaction. Conversion "X" -TA (mol/(L.s)) 0 5.857 10-4 0.1 5.463 10-4 0.2 4.764 x 10-4 0.3 4.078 x 10-4 0.4 3.423 x 10 0.5 2.757 10 -4 0.6 2.091 x 10-4 0.7 1.494 x 10-4 0.8 1.026 x 10.4 -4 - a) Plot X vs (FA0/-ta) (Excel usage is optional) [10 Pts] b) Is the plot (curve shape) in part a) affected by the reactors used? Why? [10 Pts] c) Calculate the volume of a single CSTR to reach a conversion of 0.8. 15 Pts d) Using Simpsons' 3-point rule, calculate the volume of a single PFR required for reaching a conversion of 0.8. [10 Pts] e) Calculate the total volume of reactors required in case of using 2 CSTRs in series. The conversion values after the 19 and 2nd reactors are 0.4 and 0.8, respectively. [10 Pts] f) In your own words, compare the results obtained in parts c), d), and e). [15 Pts] g) Are numerical methods of integration required for solving part c)? Why? (15 Pts]
