Plug Flow Reactor
Consider the complex liquid-phase reactions shown below A feed, flowing at a rate of 100 L/min and containing 2 M
EXAMPLE A and 2 M B, is to be reacted in a 100 L PFR. Calculate the expected concentrations of A, B, C, and D at the end of the
PFR. 𝐴 + 2𝐵 → 𝐶, −𝑟1𝐴 = 10𝐶𝐴 𝐶𝐵2 , 2𝐴 + 3𝐶 → 𝐷, −𝑟2𝐶 = 15𝐶𝐴2 𝐶𝐶3
