5 0 M g d a y ethyl acetate from ethanol and acetic acid should be produced. The reaction is described by the equation: C

50Mgday ethyl acetate from ethanol and acetic acid should be produced. The reaction is described by the equation:
C2H5OH+CH3COOH=CH3COO C2H5+H2O
A+B=C+D
Reaction rate in the liquid phase is defined by the expression:
r=k(cAcB-cCcDKC)
Reaction rate constant equals k=7.93*10-6[m3kmol*s] and the equilibrium constant equals KC=2.93. The raw material is as follows (% mass): uA0=46%,uB0=23%,uD0=31%. The reaction
should be carried out to B=0.35. We assume constant density of the mixture equals 1020kgm3. Calculate CSTR reactor volume which is necessary to obtain the amount of ethyl acetate.
