(a) A reversible exothermic reaction is carried out in a Plug flow reactor under adiabatic condition. Explain how can you find the size of the reactor?
(b) The elementary second order irreversible liquid-phase reaction: A+BC is carried out adiabatically in a CSTR. An equal molar feed in A and B enters at 27C, and the volumetric flow rate is 2dm3s and CA0(in mixture)=0.1moldm3. Conversion achieved is 85%.
(i) Determine the temperature of the reaction mixture in the reactor.
(ii) Calculate the rate constant 'k' at the reactor temperature.
(iii) Calculate the volume of the CSTR.

Data given:
HA0=-20kcalmol;HB0=-41kcalmol;HC0=-41kcalmol
CPA=CPB=15Calmol-K;CPC=30Calmol-k
k=0.01dm3(mol)-sat300K;E=10,000calmol

(c) How will you select the appropriate temperature for favourable product distribution for the reaction
A1R2S,if
(i)E1>E2,
(ii)E1E2E1?
(E1 and E2 are the activation energies of paths 1 and 2 respectively)
