A reactor design has two feeds. Feed stream \#1 ( $$ 8 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{min}) $$ contains pure A at 8 M . Stream \#2 containing species $$ B $$ at a concentration of 12 M enters the reactor with a flow rate $$ 50 \% $$ of Stream \#1. The reaction is $$ \mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B} ightarrow \mathrm{C} $$ where the reaction rate only depends on $$ \mathrm{A}: \mathrm{I}_{ ext {reactiend }}=\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{CA}^{2} $$, where $$ \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{L}}=1.2 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{gmol} $$ min. Assume equal densities on all streams. The goal of the reactor is to produce an outlet stream \#3 containing a concentration of A at 0.5 M .

Question

A reactor design has two feeds. Feed stream \#1 ( $$ 8 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{min}) $$ contains pure A at 8 M . Stream \#2 containing species $$ B $$ at a concentration of 12 M enters the reactor with a flow rate $$ 50 \% $$ of Stream \#1. The reaction is $$ \mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B} ightarrow \mathrm{C} $$ where the reaction rate only depends on $$ \mathrm{A}: \mathrm{I}_{	ext {reactiend }}=\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{CA}^{2} $$, where $$ \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{L}}=1.2 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{gmol} $$ min. Assume equal densities on all streams. The goal of the reactor is to produce an outlet stream \#3 containing a concentration of A at 0.5 M .

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To achieve the desired outlet concentration of A at 0.5 M, adjustments to the flow rates or concentrations of the feed streams may be necessary. The reactor design must ensure that the flow rates of A and B are balanced to avoid negative flow rates and ensure complete reaction.
