Homework Statement
For an irreversible first-order liquid-phase reaction (CA,0 = 10 mol/L) conversion is 90% in a plug flow reactor. If two-thirds of the stream leaving the reactor is recycled to the reactor entrance, and if the throughput to the whole reactor-recycle system is kept unchanged...
Thank you for the help. I've looked at the differential equation and it makes much more sense now.
If we know that [A] = 129,3 mol / m3 at the output of the CSTR and we know that X = 1 - ([A] / [A]0) this means that:
X = 1 - (129.3 / 300) = 0.57
So the conversion for this reaction in a CSTR...
Homework Statement
We have a second order reaction: A + B → C + D with -rA = k[A][ B]
[A]0 = [ B]0 = 300 mol / m3; τ = 11 minutes.
k = 4.0 × 10-4 m3 / (mol × minutes)
What is the conversion in a CSTR?Homework Equations
I think:
τ = ([A]0 - [A]1) / -rA,1
τ = (XA × [A]0) / -rA,1
But since I...
