Question

The irreversible gas phase rxn, A=> B+C is performed in an  adiabatic, 800‐liter PFR with a rate constant, k, as below: k=60*exp(‐5000/T) s‐1 The feed is pure A at 15 bar and 450 K with a volumetric flow  rate of 1.956 L/s. The heat of rxnis ‐12 kJ/mol(independent of  temperature), heat capacities are CPA= 40 J/mol/K, CPB= 15  J/mol/K, and CPC = 25 J/mol/K. The reaction is operated at  constant pressure Plot (a) FAand FBversus reactor volume (b) Temperature versus reactor volume (c) volumetric flow rate versus reactor volume
Use Polymath to show these three plots and explain what you  observe

The irreversible gas phase rxn, A=> B+C is performed in an adiabatic, 800-liter PFR with a rate constant, k, as below: k=60*exp(-5000/T) s-1 The feed is pure A at 15 bar and 450 K with a volumetric flow rate of 1.956 L/s. The heat of rxn is -12 kJ/mol (independent of temperature), heat capacities are CpA = 40 J/mol/K, Cpg = 15 J/mol/K, and Cpc = 25 J/mol/K. The reaction is operated at constant pressure Plot (a) FA and Fg versus reactor volume (b) Temperature versus reactor volume (c) volumetric flow rate versus reactor volume Use Polymath to show these three plots and explain what you observe.
