Kinetics

1. ) For the elementary reaction below:

3AB

Given: kf,A, kb,A, and for a CSTR (FAo , vo , and V) and for a Batch reactor (NAo , V), find the following:

1. The expression for (-rA).

2. An equilibrium relationship that can be used to calculate XAeq for each reactor type (CSTR and Batch).

3. (For a constant V, P, and T CSTR at steady state) a material balance for A that can be used to calculate the concentration of A in the outlet stream (CA) in terms of what are given above.

4. (For a constant V and T Batch reactor) a material balance for A that once integrated can be used to calculate the concentration of A (CA) for a given reaction time (t) in terms of what are given above. You dont need to integrate in this step.
