(6) Compare a CSTR with a PFR below. a. A flow of 0.3 m3/s enters a CSTR (volume of 200 m3) with an initial concentration of species A at 200 mg/L. The reaction proceeds with 1st order kinetics and a reaction rate of 5.09 hr-1. Determine the concentration of species A leaving the reactor. (8 pts) b. If a plug flow reactor was designed to have the same efficieny as the CSTR in Part A, what would the volume of the PFR be

Explanation:

Given that:

The flow rate Q = 0.3 m³/s

Volume (V) = 200 m³

Initial concentration = 2.00 ms/l

reaction rate K = 5.09 hr⁻¹

Recall that:

where;

Thus; the concentration of species in the reactant = 102.98 mg/l

b). If the plug flow reactor has the same efficiency as CSTR, Then:

The volume of the PFR is ≅ 140 m³

space exploration has led to the development and technological improvement of many everyday items. (if this answer is wrong i will find the right answer) : )
