    1.

    The reaction A→ B

    is to be carried out isothermally in a continuous-flow reactor. Calculate both

    CSTR and PFR reactor volumes necessary to consume 80% of A (Hint: CA = 0.2 CA0)

    when entering molar flow rate is 4 mol/hr and entering volumetric flow rate is 20 dm3/hr

    assuming the reaction rate –rA is kCA with k = 0.0001 s-1.

    CSTR
    We know that, Volume of CSTR can be calculated by the equation

    dm3 constant volume batch reactor with CA0 = 0.2 mol/dm3.

    3. An isothermal PFR is used for the gas phase reaction A → 2B+C. The feed,

    flowing at 2.0 L/s, contains 50% mol A and 50% mol inert species. The rate is first order

    with respect to A; the rate constant is 2.0 s-1. 

    a)  Determine the reactor volume required to consume 90% of A?

    b) If the reactor is replaced with CSTR, what is the reactor volume required to consume

    99% of A?
