A gas phase reaction 2A + 4B → 2C which is first order in A and
first order in B is to be carried out isothermally in a plug flow
reactor. The entering volumetric flow rate is 2.5 lit/min and the
feed is equimolar in A and B. The entering temperature and pressure
are 727ᵒC and 1013 kpa, respectively. The specific reaction rate at
this temperature is 4.0 lit/gmol.min and the activation energy is
6.3 × 104 J/gmol. A + 2B → C Given; -rA = KCACB 𝑉 = 𝑉𝑂(1 + 𝜀𝑋) 𝑃𝑂 𝑃
𝑇 𝑇𝑂 For isothermal and isobaric condition: 𝑉 = 𝑉𝑂(1 + 𝜀𝑋)
