Consider a second order liquid phase reaction: A + B +C The feed flow rate is 2 litres per second. The inlet concentrations of A and B are equal and their concentrations are 0.1 mol/L. The inlet temperature is 300 K. The reaction rate is: mol (-ra) = k CA CB - where k = 0.01 L mol.s at 300 K. S.m The concentrations are in mol/litre. The activation energy is 41,800 J/mol. The enthalpies of formation at 298 K are: kJ B -62.7 kJ A=-83.6 mol The heat capacities are: kJ C=-171.38 mol mol J A = 62.7 mol. K J B= 62.7 mol. K J C= 125.4 mol. K . (a)Calculate the volume of a CSTR and a PFR that gives 85% conversion when operated adiabatically. (b) Compute the maximum reactor inlet temperature possible without exceeding the liquid boiling point of 550 K. (c) Calculate the conversion that would be achieved in one 500 litre CSTR and two 250 litre CSTR in series
