We have following series reactions which are taking place in a membrane reactor. AA+3CC+2DB+C,withr1A=k1ACA,wherek1A=0.6min1D,withr2D=k2DCC2CA,wherek2D=300m6/(mol2min)E,withr3E=k3ECDCC,wherek3E=20m3/(molmin) It has been found that the pressure drop varies as dp/dV=(/2p)(FT/FT0),

We have following series reactions which are taking place in a membrane reactor. AA+3CC+2DB+C,withr1A=k1ACA,wherek1A=0.6min1D,withr2D=k2DCC2CA,wherek2D=300m6/(mol2min)E,withr3E=k3ECDCC,wherek3E=20m3/(molmin) It has been found that the pressure drop varies as dp/dV=(/2p)(FT/FT0), where = 103m3. The total concentration entering the reactor is 0.1mol/m3 and entering volumetric flow rate is 100m3/min. In this membrane reactor, species C diffuses out of the reactor with the transport coefficient kc=10min1. (a) What are the net rates of formation of A,B,C,D, and E ? (b) Plot molar flow rates of A,B,C,D,E and p as a function of a reactor volume up to V =800m3 and comment what you obtain. (c) In this reaction, species " D " is a desirable product and " E " is an undesirable product. If you need to obtain as much as species D, which volume of reactor would you choose? Also, if the purity of "D" in your final product is more important, which volume of reactor would you choose
