Compare the reactor volume required to achieve 95% efficiency for Completely Mix

Question

Compare the reactor volume required to achieve 95% efficiency for Completely Mixed Flow Reactor (CMFR) and a Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) for the following conditions. steady-state, first-order reaction, flow rate = 14m3 / day. Assume steady state. Assume the input concentration is 400 mg/L. Assume the reaction is first-order with a rate constant = 0.001 per hour. Note that the rate constant is not equal to the specification in the text. Determine the reactor total volume for the following four cases: a) Single CMFR. b) Single PFR.

Explanation / Answer

Given:Q = 14 m3/d, k = 0.05.

Solution:
