The following elementary reaction is to be carried out in the liquid phase

NaOH + CH3COOC2H5 → CH3COO Na+ + C2H5OH

The initial concentrations are 0.2 M in NaOH and 0.25 M in CH3COOC2H5 with k = 5.2 x 105 m3/mol s at 20 °C with E = 42,810 J/mol. Design a set of operating conditions to produce 200 mol/day of ethanol in a semi batch reactor and not operate above 37 °C and below a concentration of NaOH of 0.02 molar.12 The semibatch reactor you have available is 1.5 m in diameter and 2.5 m tall. (tc + te + tf) = 3 h
