The reaction AB is to be carried out isothermally in a continuous-flow reactor. The entering volumetric flow rate v0 is 10 dm3/h. (Note: FA=CAv. For a constant volumetric flow rate v=v0, then FA=CAv0. Also, CA0=FA0/v0=([5mol/h]/[10dm3/h])0.5mol/dm3.) Calculate both the CSTR and PFR reactor 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 k=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
