Aplug flow reactor (2 m3) processes an aqueous feed (100 liter/min) containing reactant a (cao = 100 mmol/liter). this reaction is reversible and represented by:
a=b ra= 0.04min-1 ca - 0.01min-1 cb
1.find the equilibrium conversion
2.find the actual conversion of a in the reactor.
3.we wish to achieve 97.5% of the equilibrium conversion by adding a cstr in series with the plug flow reactor. what volume must the cstr be in order to achieve this?
