    1. At 6500C phosphine vapour decomposes as follows
    4PH3 P4 + 6H2,

    -rphosphine = (10hr-1)Cphosphine

    What size of the plug flow reactor operating at 650 0C and 11.4 atm is
    needed for 75% conversion of 10mol/hr of phosphine in a 2/3
    phosphine and 1/3 inert feed.
    2. The gas leaving an ammonia oxidation plant consists of
    10 % nitric oxide (NO); 1% nitrogen oxide (NO2) and 8% oxygen
    This gas is allowed to oxidize (NO NO2) until the NO2: NO ratio
    reaches 8:1.
    The oxidized gas is then absorbed in water to produce nitric acid.
    (3NO2 + H2O 2HNO3 + NO). Calculate the size of the tubular reactor
    (assume plug flow) operating at 200C and 1 atm needed for this
    oxidation for a gas feed rate of 10000 m 3/hr (measured at 00C and 1
    atm). The reaction proceeds at 200C as follows
    2NO + O2 2NO2,
    -rNO2 = 14000*(CNO)2(CO2) kmol/m3/sec
    3. Given the following rate-concentration data for a particular gas phase
    reaction (A R) which we plan to run in a plug flow reactor, find the
    space time needed for 80% conversion of a 10 mol/lit pure A feed.

    4. We plan to replace our present mixed flow reactor with one having
    double the volume. For the same aqueous feed (10 mol A/lit) and
    the same feed rate find the new conversion. The reaction kinetics is
    represented by,
    -rA = kCA1.5

    A R
    and present conversion is 70%.

    5. A mixed flow reactor is being used to determine the kinetics of a


    reaction whose stoichiometry is
    A R. For this purpose various
    flow rates of an aqueous solution of 100 mmol A/lit are fed to a 1
    litre reactor, and for each run the outlet concentration of A is
    measured. Find a rate equation to represent the following data. Also
    assume in these problems that reactant alone affects the rates

    6. Pure gaseous A at about 3 atm and 30 (120 mmol/lit) is fed into a


    1 litre mixed flow reactor at various flow rates. There it decomposes
    and the exit concentration of A is measured for each flow rate. From
    the following data find a rate equation to represent the kinetics of
    the decomposition of A. Assume that the reactant A alone affects
    the rate. (A 3R)

    outflow rate vf of a CA0 = 320 mmol/lit pure A feed can be 50 %
    converted in a 560 litre mixed flow reactor.
    8. A constant density liquid is fed at a number of different
    temperatures to a mixed flow reactor and there it decomposes. The
    flow rate is adjusted to keep the composition of the exit stream
    constant. From the following results, find the activation energy of
    the reaction A R, first order reaction.
