Series Reactions

Self Test

For the elementary reactions:
with k₁=.1 s^-1 and k₂=.2 s^-1 with C_AO= 2 mol/dm³. Plot the concentration of B and selectivity of B to C as a function of space time in a CSTR.

Solution

For the elementary reactions:
with k₁=.1 s^-1 and k₂=.2 s^-1 with C_AO= 2 mol/dm³. Plot the concentration of B and selectivity of B to C as a function of space time in a CSTR.

Solution

CSTR A. Balance on Species A

B.Balance on Species B

C.Balance on Species C

The space time,, is the minimum value of V (i.e.) at which there is an acceptable molar flow rate of the desired product B from the CSTR.
