You were contacted by a vendor that claims it has a PFR of 200 cubic feet that can achieve 80% conversion for the following process The liquid phase reaction 3R + Q → 2P will be carried out in a PFR reactor. Reactants R and Q and dilutant S will be fed at 60 ft3/min with the following molar flow rates: Species R Species Q Species S || The rate law will be 300 lbmole / min 100 lbmole / min 50 lbmole / min - TR lbmole ft³ * min = 0.1 * C * CQ where CR and Co~ Ibmole/ft³. Determine the volume of the PFR reactor based on the given conversion and the final concentrations of all species involved in the system

Follow-up Question

 Re-write the reactor design equation for the PFR using the rate law 

 

can you please re-do the problem now using a different rate law, anything will help

 

i can repost for more help 

The liquid phase reaction 3R + Q → 2P will be carried out isothermally in a 200 Cubic Feet PFR. Reactants R and Q and dilutant S will be fed at 60 ft3/min with the following molar flow rates: Species R Species Q Species S The rate law will be 300 lbmole / min 100 lbmole / min 50 lbmole / min -TR where CR and CQ ~ Ibmole/ft³. lbmole * min ft³ = A) Re-write the reactor design equation for the PFR using the rate law -TR = 0.033C²/ (1 — XR)ª
