Process Dynamics of Two CSTR's in Series F CAO ਵਿੱਚ CAL F CA For the process in the flow chart: The reaction vessels have been designed well, with baffling and impeller size, shape, and speed such that a uniform concentration in the liquid is guaranteed. The liquid hold ups in each of the two rectors remains constants. A step in the inlet concentration is made (CA) and remained constant at 1.1 mole/m”. Then the inlet concentration, Cao remains constant. The heat of reaction is negligible, and no heat is transferred to the surroundings. The following data are specified for the process 1) The inlet flow rate to the first tank F= 0.091 m/min 2) Equal reactor volumes: V =V2 = 1.1 m3 3) The chemical reaction is third-order in terms of reactant concentration, with a rate equation: A=-kCA with k = 0.033 min m/mole 4) The initial concentration in the first and the second reactor is CA = 0.1 mole/m 5) You can add some reasonable simplifying assumptions. First part 1 Develop a mathematical model that predicts the process dynamics for this system. Second part Solve the model, using as much methods as you can (e.g. hand solution, Mathematica software and numerical solution). Third part Use your computer to solve parts a to c and then submit a report with your excel spreadsheet file. a) Plot the process dynamics, represented as a plot of concentration versus time for each reactor. b) Perform a parametric study for the effect of reaction constant (k) and reactor volume V for the response of reactor 2. c) For operational reasons, the reactant concentration should never go above 0.8 mole/m? Predict if and when the concentration in any of the tanks will reach that limit. d) Discuss your results
