Type 2 Home Problem -- Solution
Problems that require intermediate calculations or manipulations.
In this problem we have to find a way to relate these two reactors. At first, this question looks unsolvable, but then we recall the following relationship between k1 and k2:
In the Homogeneous Example 1 Solution, we derived the following equation for a CSTR:
Our next step is to group our unknowns on one side of the equation and solve for their product:
Then, we use our relationship between k1 and k2:
k2V=3.3
Next, we look at our PFR design equation:
We integrate this equation over our limits:
and solve for X:
Recalling our result for k2V that we determined above, we get:
X=0.72
