Question 3 The Liquid Phase Isomerization Of A To B Was Carried Out At 100 C And 1 Atm In A Batch Reactor Is Shown Below 1 (41.87 KiB) Viewed 18 times

Question 3 The liquid-phase isomerization of A to B was carried out at 100°C and 1 atm in a batch reactor is shown below. A → B The concentration of A was recorded as function of time as shown in Table Q3. Table Q3: Concentration-Time Data Time (min.) Concentration of A (mol/L) 0 16 3 14 5 13 8 11.8 10 11 12 10.5 a. The above reaction is second-order reaction. Plot the graph and determine the k value from the data given in Table Q3. (7 marks) b. Calculate the conversion that can be achieved in 12 minutes. (4 marks) C. The above reaction is suggested to be carried out in a flow reactor whether CSTR or PFR. The conversion is set to 90% to produce 7 million kg per year. Given the volumetric flowrate of A is 18.4974 L/minutes and molecular weight of B is 50 g/mol. Calculate the volume of CSTR and PFR. Based on your calculation, choose which reactor is suitable and justify your answer. (14 marks) (Total: 25 marks)
