TO ILUSTRATE THE DESING OF CONTINUOS FLOW REACTOR (i,e.

CSTR AND PFR=) WE CONSIDER THE ISOTERMAL GAS-PHASE ISOMERIZACION

A---B.
WE ARE GOING TO THE LABORATORY TO DETERMINE THE RATE OF CHEMICAL REACTION AS A FUNTION OF THE CONVERSION OF REACTANT
RATE AS A FUNTION OF CONVERCION. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 700 K, THE TOTAL PRESURE WAS 930 KPa, AND THE INITHIAL CHARGE TO DE
REACTOR WAS PURE A. THE ENTERNING MOLAR FLOW OF A RATE IS FAo= 35 mol/s.
a) CALCULATE THE VOLUME NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE 80% CONVERSION IN CSTR.
b) CALCULATE THE VOLUME NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE 70% CONVERSION IN A PFR.
