The first order, reversible reaction A<--> B + 2C is taking place in the membrane reactor. Pure A enters and B diffuses through the reactor. Unfortunately, some of the reactant A also diffuses through the membrane. A. Plot and analyze the flow rates of A, B and C down the reactor, as well as the flow rates of A and B through the membrane.

B. Compare the conversion profiles of a conventional PFR with those of a membrane reactor. What generalizations can you make?

C. Would the conversion of A be greater or smaller if C were diffusing instead of B?

D. Discuss qualitatively how your curves would change if the temperature were increased significantly or decreased significantly for an exothermic reaction. Repeat for an endothermic reaction.

Water vapor initially at 10 bar and 400 °c is contained within a piston-cylinder assembly. the water lost heat to the surrounding according to isochoric (iso-volumetric) process until its temperature is 150 °c. the water is then condensed isothermally to saturated liquid. for the water as a system, calculate the work in kj/kg
