P 6 - 4 B The elementary gas - phase reaction ( C H 3 ) 3 C O O C ( C H 3

P6-4 B The elementary gas-phase reaction
(CH3)3COOC(CH3)3C2H6+2CH3COCH3
AB+2C
is carried out isothermally at 400K in a flow reactor with no pressure drop. The specific reaction rate at 50C is 10-?4min-1(from pericosity data) and the activation energy is 85kJmol. Pure di-tert-butyl peroxide enters the reactor at
10atm and 127C and a molar flow rate of 2.5molmin, that is,FA=2.5molmin.
Use the algorithm for molar flow rates to formulate and solve the problem. Plot FA,FB,FC, and then x as a function of plug-flow reactor volume and space time to achieve 90% conversion.
Calculate the plug-flow volume and space time for a CSTR for 90% conversion.
