The homogeneous gas reaction A Ã3R follows second-order kinetics. For a feed rate of 4m3 /hr of pure A at 5 atm and 350o C, an experimental reactor consisting of a 2.5 cm ID pipe 2 m long gives 60% conversion of feed. A commercial plant is to treat 320 m3 /hr of feed consisting of 50% A, 50% inerts at 25 atm and 350o C to obtain 80% conversion. Assume plug flow in the pipe, negligible pressure drop, and ideal gas behavior.
(a) How many 2-m lengths of 2.5 cm ID pipe are required?
(b) Should they be placed in parallel or in series?
