Additional Homework Problems

CDP8-27B

The hydrogenation of benzene (B) is carried out in a CSTR slurry reactor where the desired product is cyclohexene (C) [Chem. Eng. Sci., 51, 2873 (1996)].

The entering molar flow rate of benzene is 2 mol/s and it is necessary to achieve at least 40% conversion of benzene at 40. K.

At what conditions should the reaction be carried out to maximize the yield of cyclohexene?
