Chemical Engineering: Reactor Design For a First-Order Reaction. Please provide solutions for part (a) , (b), (c), and (d).
An ester in aqueous solution is to be saponified in a continuous reactor system. Batch experiments show that the reaction is first-order and irreversible, and 50% reaction occurred in 8 min at the temperature required. We need to process 120 mol/h of 5 molar feed to 95% conversion. Calculate the REACTOR VOLUMES required for this process in: a PFR a CSTR two equal-volume CSTRs four equal-volume CSTRs
