QUESTION 1 The elementary, irreversible, gas phase reaction AB+ 2C is carried out in a CSTR. The feed sent to the reactor is pure A and the conversion of species A achieved is 53%. In order to increase production the installation of a spare PFR is being considered. The PFR is to be installed in series with the current CSTR. The volume of the PFR is approximately 1.45 times the volume of the CSTR. You are required to evaluate the following two reactor configurations and recommend which reactor configuration results in a higher conversion. The two configurations are: (1) CSTR-PFR (ii) PFR-CSTR You may assume that both reactors operate isothermally at the same temperature and pressure drop is negligible.
