Use the data in Example 13–2 to make the following determinations. (The volumetric feed rate to this reactor was 60 dm3/min.)
(a) Calculate the Peclet numbers for both open and closed systems.
(b) For an open system, determine the space-time x and then calculate the % dead volume in a reactor for which the manufacturer's specifications give a volume of 420 dm3.
(c) Using the dispersion and tanks-in-series models, calculate the conversion for a closed vessel for the first-order isomerization
A→B
with k = 0.18 min−1.
(d) Compare your results in part (c) with the conversion calculated from the tanks-in-series model, a PFR, and a CSTR.
