Pure A (1kmol/hr 1 atm) is fed to plugflow reactor where it reacts reversibly and isothermally at
1219 with elementary kinetics.

Find :
a.) The size of reactor neede for 40% conversion
b.) The equilibrium conversion

Solution
a.) Volume of plug flow reaction the reaction is elementary. Hence first order forward, second order
reverse
-rA = k1 CA – k2 CR2
Thus the plug flow performance equation becomes

*We must write these in terms of conversion. Since this
is not easy to see straight off. Let us go back to
definition of concentration.

b.) Equilibrium conversion
The quickest way to find XAe is to recognize that occurs where (forward rate) = (backward
rate) ... or where ... k1 CA = k2 CR2
From the last writing of the performance equation this occurs where :
1 – 5XA2 = 0 ...or where ... XAe = 0,45 ... (b)
Alternatively we can conservatively retreat into formal thermodynamics. Here for the general
ideal gas reaction n hz = Rr + Ss
Δn = r + s - Q, we have
Kp RT π ∆n
r=
( P=1 atm)
∆n

P=1 atm

P=1 atm )
Kp = thermodynamics equilibrium constant

y A ( 1−Z /1+ Z ) 1−Z 2

From these two

Z = 0,45
Bilangan Z = fraction XAe
So, XAe = 0,45
