An irreversible aqueous phase reaction, A + B P, is carried out in an adiabatic mixed flow reactor. A feed containing 4kmole/m3 of each A and B enters the reactor at 8m3 /hr. If the temperature of the exit stream is never to exceed 390 K, what is the maximum inlet feed temperature allowed?
Data: Heat of reaction = - 50 kJ/mole
Density of the reacting mixture = 1000kg/m3
Specific heat of reacting mixture = 2kJ/kg.K
The above data can be assumed to be independent of temperature and composition. -

B.
Two mixed reactors of unequal size are available for producing a specified product, formed by a homogenous second order reaction. To achieve maximum production rate, the smaller reactor should be placed in series before the larger reactor.

C.

D.
The mechanism for the decomposition of CH3CHO into CH4 and CO in presence of I2 is:
CH3CHO +I2 CH3I + HI + CO; slow CH3I + HI CH4 + I2; fast Then the rate of disappearance of CH3CHO is equal to K.CCH3I.CHI and acts as a catalyst. |
