Question 1: - (CLO1, C2, PLO1) (4)
Referring to the text material and the reference book on Chemical Reaction Engineering, discuss in detail on
industrial reactors by filling the required information in the table below.
Type of Characteristics Kind of Phases Use Advantages Disadvantages
Reactor
Batch
CSTR
PFR
PBR

Question 2: - (CLO2, C3, PLO1) (3)


Suppose you have two CSTRs and two PFRs each with a volume of 1.6 m3. Apply the fundamental design
equations on the data provided in table below to calculate the conversion for each of the reactors in the following
arrangements.
a) Two CSTRs in series.
b) Two PFRs in series.
c) A PFR followed by a CSTR
d) A CSTR followed by a PFR.
e) A PFR followed by two CSTRs. Is this arrangement a good one or is there a better one?
X 0 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.7 0.8
(FA0/-rA) 0.89 1.08 1.33 2.05 3.54 5.06 8.00

Question 3: - (CLO2, C3, PLO1) (3)


The reaction A B is to be carried out isothermally in a continuous flow reactor. Apply the fundamental design
equations to find the volume of CSTR and PFR necessary to consume 99% of A (i.e. CA = 0.01CAo). When the
entering molar flow rate is 5 mol/hr and υo = 10dm3/h, CA0 = 0.5mol/dm3, assuming the reaction rate –rA as

a) –rA = k k = 0.05mol/h.dm3 * (n+x/n+y)


b) –rA = kCA k = 0.0001s-1 * (n+x/n+y)
c) –rA = kCA 2 k = 3dm3/mol.h * (n+x/n+y)

Repeat (a), (b) and (c) to calculate the time necessary to consume 99.9% of species A in a 1000dm3 constant volume
batch reactor. (*where n is numerical part of your roll number and values of x and y are according to the following:
x = 5 and y = 3 for n = 1 to 20; x = 3 and y = 4 for n = 21 to 40 and x = 6, and y = 5 for n > 40).
