1. An aqueous feed of A and B (400 l/min, 100 mmol A/l, 200 mmol B/l) is to be converted to product in a PFR.
The kinetics of the reaction is represented by A + B > R , rA = 200CA CB mol=l=min. Find the volume of reactor
needed for 99.9% conversion of A to product.
2. A mixed flow reactor (2 m3 ) processes an aqueous feed (100 l/min) containing reactant A (CA0 = 100mmol=l).
The reaction is reversible and represented by A < > R , rA = 0:04CA 0:01CR mol=l=min. What is the equilib-
rium conversion and the actual conversion in the reactor?
3. A gaseous feed of pure A (2 mol/l, 100 mol/min) decomposes to give a variety of products in a PFR. The kinetics of

50% A - 50% inert feed (v0 = 180l=min, CA0 = 300mmol=l) to a 1m mixed flow reactor.
5. The aqueous decomposition of A is studied in an experimental mixed flow reactor. The data obtained is given in
table below. Find the space-time required in a CSTR and a PFR for 75% conversion of a feed of CA0 = 0:8mol=l.
