ASAP>
You have 2 reactors of equal volurne (V1=V2=1 fters) arailable for your use: one a CSTR and the other a PFR.
The reaction is imeversible, isotherrral and follows second-orter kinetics.
AB
?-rA=kCA2=kCAO2(1-xA)2
The rate constart, k=1M-1h-1.
The initial resclarnt concestrafion, A is 1 malliter.
The volumetric flow rate is 30 itersh.
There are 3 ways you can arrange the system:
(a) Resactors in series: PFR followed by CSTR
(b) Resclors in series: CSTR followed by PFR
(c) Reactars in paralled with half the feed rate gaing to esch reactor after which the exit strearrs are rixed.
Sale which systern will give the highest overal comversion?
System A (PFR followed by CSTR)
Systern B (CSTR followed by PFR)
System C(paraled)
