Several potential reactor designs are assessed to treat an aqueous stream containing two compounds, A and B, which react following second order kinetics, −rA=kCACB, with k=0.5min⋅molL. The inlet concentrations are CA, in =0.1 mol/L and CB, in =20 mol/L. (i) CASE 1. If we use one 4 L mixed flow reactor, calculate the volumetric flow, v0, can be treated to reach an outlet concentration of CA,out=0.009 mol⋅L−1. [5 marks] (ii) CASE 2. What concentration of A can be reached in the outlet stream, if we reduce the inlet volumetric flow by five-fold respect to CASE 1(v0/5) ? [5 marks] (iii) CASE 3. Considering similar conditions to those in CASE 1, what concentration of A can be reached in the outlet stream, if we split the same reactor volume into three individual and identical MFRs? [5 marks] (iv) Calculate the outlet concentration of B, CB,out, for all the previous three cases. [5 marks]
