5 An aqueous feed to a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) which has a reactor
volume of 180 liter, consists of 0.4mol? liter of A and the same molar concentration of F.
The feed rate is 3.0litermin.
The desired product B is formed by different reactions as shown below.
If the reactor is operated at the temperature T1 with the rate constants as shown below,
i. what are the values of CA,CB,CU and CF at the reactor exit?
ii. what is the yield of B(based on the feed A and F combined)?
At another temperature T2, the rates r3 and rs are both negligible. Then,
iii. is the CSTR or PFR preferred or is there any preference? Show your calculations?
Other information
At the temperature Tl,
k1=0.01min-1
k2=0.02min-1
k3=0.03min-1
k4=0.50Lgmol-min
Cj is the concentration of species j
PFR is plug flow reactor.
