The following irreversible elementary liquid phase reaction is taking place in a 0.01 m3 PFR which is mounted with a heat exchanger.
2 C4H4----> C6H5CH=CH2
The feed at 400 contains only C4H4 and the concentration of C4H4 in the feed is 1 kmol/m3 and the molar flow rate of it is 300 mol/min. The heat capacities of C4H4 and C6H5CH=CH2 are 122 J/mole.K and 244 J/mole.K, respectively. The Ua value for the heat exchanger is 5000 J/s.dm3/K and the heat exchanger fluid has a temperature of 425. The heat of reaction (Hrxn) and the rate constant (k) of the reaction are a function of temperature according to the following expressions:
Hrxn =-23100012(T-25) J/mole where T is in
k =1.48 x 108 exp (-19124/T) dm3/mole.s where T is in K
Determine the conversion of C4H4 that can be achieved in this reactor. please use mathlab or polymath and find conversion of A.
