The pyrolysis of methyl a-asetoxy propionate in gas phase is a first order reaction. CH COOCH(CH) COOCH →CH COOH +CH = CHCOOCH, The reaction rate constant (k) changes with temperature according to equation given below; 38000 (cal/mol) k=3.1093e RT Pure reactant with molar flowrate of 1.5 kmol/h enters to 200 L of CSTR at 527°C and pressure of 2 atm. The pressure in the reactor is constant and 2 atm. a. Create the stoichiometric table. b. Find the conversion ratio and volumetric flow rate at the exit of the reactor (Use MATLAB for solution). c. What would be the volume of the PFR reactor connected in series with the CSTR to make the conversion ratio 95%? Calculate the volumetric flow rate at the exit of PFR (Use MATLAB for solution).
