The elementary irreversible organic liquid-phase reaction

a + b  c

is carried out adiabatically in a flow reactor. an equal molar feed in a and b enters at 27oc, and the volumetric flow rate is 2 l/s.

(a) calculate the pfr and cstr volumes necessary to achieve 85% conversion.

(b) what is the maximum inlet temperature one could have so that the boiling point of the liquid (550ok) would not be exceeded even for complete conversion?

(c) calculate the conversion that can be achieve in one 500-l cstr and in two 250-l cstrs in series.

additional information:

hoa =  20 kcal/mol, hob =  15 kcal/mol, hoc =  41 kcal/mol

ca0 = 0.1 kmol/m3, cpa = cpb = 15 cal/molok, cpc = 30 cal/molok

activation energy e = 10,000 cal/mol, k = 0.01 l/mols at 300ok.
