An exothermic, aqueous phase, irreversible, first order reaction, Y→Z is carried out in an ideal continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) operated adiabatically at steady state. Rate of consumption of Y (in mol liter⁻¹ minute⁻¹) is given by
rY=/frac109e(6500)CY/textWhereCY/textis/textthe/textconcentration/textofY(/textinmol/textliter1),andTisthetemperatureofthereactionmixture(inK).ReactantYisfedat500C.Itsinletconcentrationis1.0molliter1,anditsvolumetricflowrateis1.0literminute1.−r_Y = /frac{10^9e(−6500)}{ᵗC_Y} /text{Where} C_Y /text{is} /text{the} /text{concentration} /text{of} Y (/text{in} mol /text{liter}^{-1}) , and T is the temperature of the reaction mixture (in K) . Reactant Y is fed at 50⁰ C. Its inlet concentration is 1.0 mol liter⁻¹,and its volumetric flow rate is 1.0 liter minute⁻¹.
In addition, use the following data and assumptions
/textHeat/textof/textthe/textreaction=42000Jmol1• /text{Heat} /text{of} /text{the} /text{reaction} = −42000Jmol^{-1}
/textSpecific/textheat/textcapacity/textof/textthe/textreaction/textmixture=4.2g1K1• /text{Specific} /text{heat} /text{capacity} /text{of} /text{the} /text{reaction} /text{mixture} = 4.2g^{-1}K^{-1}
/textDensity/textof/textthe/textreaction/textmixture=10000/textgliter1• /text{Density} /text{of} /text{the} /text{reaction} /text{mixture} = 10000 /text{gliter}^{-1}
• Heat of the reaction, specific heat capacity and density of the reaction mixture do no vary with temperature • Shaft work is negligible If the conversion of Y at the exit of the reactor is 90 %, the volume of the CSTR (in liter) is ____(round off to 2 decimal places).

none

Answer

2.8

Solution

ry=/frac109(6500)ecy−r_y = /frac{10^9(−6500)}{e^ᵗc_y}
T0=323.15KT_0 = 323.15K
..
(−r_y) Energy balance
..
1/times1000/times4.2(323.150)1/times10001 /times 1000 /times 4.2(323.15-0)-1 /times 1000
×4.2/times(T20)=1/times1/times(42000)×4.2 /times (T_2-0) = 1 /times 1 /times (−42000)
T2=332.15KT_2 = 332.15K
ry=/frac109(6500)ecy−r_y = /frac{10^9(−6500)}{e^ᵗc_y}
ry=3.1702cy−r_y = 3.1702c_y
1/times0.91 /times 0.9
..
(3.1702)c_y⋅(1-x_y_0)
V=2.8/textliterV = 2.8 /text{liter}
Hence, the correct answer is 2.8
