Let’s continue Problem P13-19B.

(a) What would be the conversion for a second-order reaction with kCM) = 0.1 min−1 and CA0 = 1 mol/dm3 using the segregation model?


(b) What would be the conversion for a second-order reaction with kCA0 = 0.1 min−1 and CA0 = 1 mol/dm3 using the maximum mixedness model?


(c) If the reactor is modeled as tanks in series, how many tanks are needed to represent this reactor? What is the conversion for a first-order reaction with k = 0.1 min−1?


(d) If the reactor is modeled by a dispersion model, what are the Peclet numbers for an open system and for a closed system? What is the conversion for a first-order reaction with k = 0.1 min−1 for each case?


(e) Use the dispersion model to estimate the conversion for a second-order reaction with k = 0.1 dnvVmol-s and CA0 = 1 mol/dm3.


(f) It is suspected that the reactor might be behaving as shown in Figure P14-13B, with perhaps (?) V, = V2. What is the “backflow” from the second to the first vessel, as a multiple of υ0 ?


Proposed model system

(g) If the model above is correct, what would be the conversion for a second-order reaction with k = 0.1 dm3/mol-min if CA0 = 1.0 mol/dm3?


(h) Prepare a table comparing the conversion predicted by each of the models described above.


(i) How would your answer to part (a) change if the reaction were carried out adiabatically with the parameter values given in Problem P13-2A(j)?
