Please do D.

The reaction AB is to be carried out isothermally in a continuous-flow reactor. The entering volumetric flow rate v0 is 10dm3/h. Note: FA=CA v. For a constant volumetric flow rate v=v0, then FA=CAv0. Also, CA0=FA0/v0=([15 mol/h]/[10dm3/h])=0.5mol/dm3. Calculate both the CSTR and PFR volumes necessary to consume 99% of A (i.e., CA=0.01CA0 ) when the entering molar flow rate is 5mol/h, assuming the reaction rate rA is a. rA=k with k=0.05hdm3mol[ Ans.: VCSTR=99dm3] b. rA=kCA with 0.0001s1 c. rA=kCA2 with k=300molhdm3[ Ans.: VCSTR=660dm3] d. Repeat (a), (b), and/or (c) to calculate the time necessary to consume 99.9% of species A in a 1000dm3 constant-volume batch reactor with CA0=0.5mol/dm3
