|
is to be carried out in the various reactors discussed below. The feed, which is at a temperature of 27°C, consists of 80% of A and the remainder inerts. The volumetric flow rate entering the reactor at this temperature is 100 dm 3 /min. The concentration of A in the feed at 27°C is 0.5 mol/dm 3. For 80% of the adiabatic equilibrium conversion: (a) Calculate the volume of a plug-flow reactor when the
reaction is carried out adiabatically. |
