Question

By using MATLAB:

Steady State CSTR Assume you have an adiabatic CSTR operating at steady state A0 Within the CSTR, reactant A is being converted to product where the rate of reaction is first order: However, the reaction is also exothermic and the rate constant is described through the classic Arrhenius equation Te RT Under the set of conditions given below, solve for the temperature (T) and the concentration (CA) leaving this CSTR operating under steady state conditions. C3000 mol/L 250 K 298 K 20 L 4.48x10 1/hr 60,000 J/mol 8.314 J/mol-K AH, I -2.09x10" Jimol QI 200 Lhr 4.19x10s J/mol-K 1. Write out the mass balance. i. Assume input stream is pure Co ii. Assume constant density 2. Write out the energy balance. i. Assume no shaft work ii. Negligible changes in kinetic and potential energy of system iii. Adiabatic reactor (qaty - 0) iv. Cp is both for reactants and products 3. Use MATLAB's fsolve function to solve for the reactor temperature and concentration. Use an initial guess of 500 moVL for CA and an initial guess of 800 K for temperature.
