Type 6 Home Problem
Problems, or parts of problems, that are open-ended.

The following gas phase reaction takes place in an industrial PFR:

C is the desired product. D is formed in an undesirable side reaction.

 

Given:

 

FAo = 50 mol/min

FBo = 25 mol/min

V = 2 m3

T = ? and P = ?

 

      FA = ?

      FB = ?

      FC = 81,000 mol/hr

Additional Information:

  k1(300 K) = 0.075/sec

  E1=15000 cal/mol

  k2(300 K) = 0.0015/sec

  E2=17500 cal/mol

Rate Laws:

 

Find the operating temperature (T) and pressure (P) for the PFR that will generate our desired production of C. What are the factors that affect your decision?
