The following liquid-phase reactions were carried out in a CSTR at 325 K.

  

The concentrations measured inside the reactor were CA = 0.10, CB = 0.93, CC = 0.51 , and CD = 0.049 all in mol/dm3.

(a) What are r1A, r2A, and r3A? (r1A = - 0.7 mol/dm3 • min)

(b) What are r1B , r2B , and r3B?

(c) What are r1C, r2C, and r3C? (r1C = 0.23 mol/dm3 •min)

(d) What are r1D, r2D , and r3D?

(e) What are r1Er2E, and r3E?

(f) What are the net rates of formation of A, B, C, D, and E?

(g) The entering volumetric flow rate is 100 dm3/min and the entering concentration of A is 3M. What is the CSTR reactor volume?

(h) Write a Polymath program to calculate the exit concentrations when the volume is given as 600 dm3

(i) PFR. Now assume the reactions take place in the gas phase. Use the preceding data to plot the molar flow rates as a function of PFR volume. The pressure drop parameter is 0.001 dm-3, the total concentration entering

the reactor is 0.2 mol/dm3, and υ0 = 100 dm3/min. What are ṤD/E and SC/D?

(j) Membrane Reactor. Repeat (i) when species C diffuses out of a membrane reactor and the transport coefficient, kC, is 10 min-1. Compare your results with part (i).
