The reaction

is to be carried out isothermally in a continuous-flow reactor. Calculate both the CSTR and PFR reactor volumes necessary to consume 9% of A (i.e., CA = 0.01 CAO) when the entering molar flow rate is 5 mol/h, assuming the reaction rate -rA is:

(a)

---

(b)

---

(c)

The entering volumetric flow rate is 10 dm3/h. (Nole: FA = CAv. For a constant volumetric flow rate v = vo , then FA= CAVO' Also, CAO = FA0lvo = [5 mol/h]/[10 dm3/h] = 0.5 mol/dm3 .)

---

(d) Repeat (a), (b), and (c) to calculate the time necessary to consume 99.9% of species A in a 1000 dm3 constant volume batch reactor ith CAO =0.5 mol/dm3.
