A?B is to be carried out isothermally in a flow reactor. Calculate both the CSTR and PFR reactor volumes necessary to consume 80% of A(i.e.,CA?=0.2CA0? ) when the entering feed is pure A at a flow rate of 20mol/h, assuming the reaction rate ?rA? is: (a) ?rA?=k with k=0.045mol/h?dm3 (b) ?rA?=kCA? with k=0.0001s?1 (c) ?rA?=kCA2? with k=3dm3/mol?h The entering volumetric flow rate, v0?, is 15dm3/h. [Note: FA?=CA?v. For a constant volumetric flow rate v=v0?, then FA?=CA?v0?. Also, CA0?=FA0?/v0?].
