    ChE-530: Advanced Reaction Engineering

    Homework 2

    Due date: March 06, 2018

    Please solve the following problems from your textbook


    Problems P 8-5; P8-6 a, b, c; P-8 a & b; P-10 a, b & c; P-13
    Problem: The elementary liquid-phase reaction

    is to be carried out adiabatically in a set of tubular reactors packed with a resin catalyst and
    arranged in series. The feed consists of 25 mol % A, 25 mol % B, and 50 mol % inerts at 300 K.
    There are available to you a large number of interstage heat exchangers that can cool the reaction
    stream to temperatures as low as 300 K. The reactors have sufficient catalyst to reach 95% of the
    corresponding equilibrium conversion. What is the smallest number of reactors in series necessary
    to obtain an exiting conversion above 50%? What would you need to do to increase the conversion
    to 95%? What concerns would you have about reaching 95% conversion?
