UNIVERSITI TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN ACADEMIC YEAR 2009/2010 MID TERM. Chemical Reaction Engineering 1 (UEMK 3143) ‘Thursday 15 April 2010 Time: 5.00 pm — 7.00 pm (2 hours) QL. Determine PFR and CSTR Volume required to convert 95 % of A. Given that the Volumetric flow (v,) is 10 dm°/min, constant rate of reaction (k) is 0.0025 s" and pure feed of A by the first order, gas-phase reaction is A—+ 2B Q2. The gas phase decomposition A—» B+2C Is carried out in a constant volume batch reactor, Runs | through 5 were carried out at 100°C, while run 6 was carried out It 110 °C. From the data in table P5-10, determine the reaction order and specific reaction rate, Table P5-10, Raw Data Run | Initial concentration, Ca, (g moV/L.) | Half Life, tya (min) 41 77 98 1.96 13 2.0UNIVERSIT!
