    CHE 354-001 Chemical Reactor Design Homework #4

    Spring 2021 Due 2/19/21


    1. The elementary, liquid-phase reaction A + B → 2C is to be carried out in a CSTR with feed
    of CA0 = 16.13 mol/L and CB0 = 55.5 mol/L.
    a. Set up a stoichiometric table.
    b. Express the concentration as a function of conversion, evaluating all constants.
    c. Write the reaction rate law solely as a function of conversion.

    2. The isothermal, isobaric, catalytic gas-phase reaction A + 2B → C is to be carried out in a


    fluidized CSTR. The feed is stoichiometric and enters at 6 atm and 170°C.
    a. Set up a stoichiometric table.
    b. Express the partial pressures of each gas as a function of conversion. Evaluate all
    constants so that conversion is the only variable.
    c. Write the rate law solely as a function of conversion, assuming the reaction follows an
    elementary rate law.

    3. The elementary gas-phase reversible reaction 2A + B ↔ C is to be carried out isothermally


    with no pressure drop in a PFR with an equal molar feed of A and B, with CA0 = 2 mol/L. For
    the operating conditions, kA = 2 L2/mol2·s and KC = 0.5 L2/mol2.
    a. What is the concentration of B initially?
    b. What is the limiting reactant?
    c. Set up a stoichiometric table.
    d. What is the exit concentration of B when the conversion of A is 25%?
    e. Write -rA solely as a function of conversion.
    f. What is the equilibrium conversion, Xe (what will conversion be when the reaction
    reaches equilibrium)?
    g. What is the rate when conversion is 0%, 50%, and 0.99Xe?

    4. Optional bonus problem (3 pts extra credit): Fogler P4-2.
