Can you write a polymath code for the calculation of reactor volume in chemical engineering reactor project? The main reaction in this project is the oxidation of phthalic anhydride from oxylene. This conversion takes place with 80%convergion. The selectivity of 1- phthalic anhydride is 80%. Side reactions in sequence: Formation of maleic anhydride from 2- o - xylene with a selectivity of 11% ; Production of benzoic acid from 3- o - xylene with a selectivity of 0.5% ; Combustion reaction of 4- o - xylene with a selectivity of 8.5%. Rate expressions of these reactions: r 1=(4.12 E 11)( e ^(-27000/(623*1.987)))((98.9-(98.9*1.246* X ))/(9890+(98.9*0.22* X )))*((2056.1-(98.9*5.119* X ))/(9890+(98.9*0.22* X ))) r 2=(2.25 E 11)( e ^(-27900/(623*1.987)))((98.9-(98.9*1.246* X ))/(9890+(98.9*0.22* X )))*((2056.1-(98.9*5.119* X ))/(9890+(98.9*0.22* X ))) r 3=(5 E 9)( e ^(-27000/(623*1.987)))((98.9-(98.9*1.246* X ))/(9890+(98.9*0.22* X )))*((2056.1-(98.9*5.119* X ))/(9890+(98.9*0.22* X ))) r 1=(1.73 E 11)( e ^(-28600/(623*1.987)))((98.9-(98.9*1.246* X ))/(9890+(98.9*0.22* X )))*((2056.1-(98.9*5.119* X ))/(9890+(98.9*0.22* X ))) Can you convert the rate expressions of these reactions into differential equations and calculate the reactor volume? d(XA)/d(z)= r1/ FA0 calculate the volume of the pfr reactor using this design equation.
