- Consider the reaction network: (1); A + B => C and (2); A+ 2C =>D. The volumetric flow rate is 10 m3 /hr and the feed concentration (of LR) is 1 mol/L. Assume no products in the feed, elementary and irreversible kinetics, and excess of species B (FBo = 2FAo). For parts (ii), (iii), and (iv) below, what is the size of the reactor to achieve 80% conversion at steady-state and what are the overall yield and selectivity at exit conditions? State any assumptions by parts. In addition, for parts (iii) and (iv), plot the species concentration profiles and instantaneous yield and selectivity as a function of space time. (50 points; 5 points for part (i) and each other 15 points) (i) The rate coefficients are k1 = 4 and k2 = 2, both with dimensions of time in min, volume in L, and amount in mol. What are the appropriate units of k1 and k2? Use these values for parts (ii) to (iv) (ii) liquid phase CSTR; no inerts in the feed, (iii) gas-phase PFR; no inerts in the feed (iv) gas-phase PFR; one mole inerts per mole of A in the feed
