Question

There are 2 CSTRs in series. The conversion after the first reactor is 35% and after the second reactor is 72%. Given the following rate vs. conversion data, determine the volume of reactor 1(V1) and the volume of reactor 2 (V2).

 
X                       0     0.13    0.21    0.35    0.54    0.72       
FA0/-rA(m)3       1.2    1.5     1.9      2.8      4.6      7.1    

a) V1 = 0.73 m3, V2 = 2.6 m3
b) V1 = 0.73 m3, V2 = 7.1 m3
c) V1 = 0.84 m3, V2 = 5.1 m3
d) V1 = 0.98 m3, V2 = 2.6 m3
e) V1 = 0.98 m3, V2 = 7.1m3
f) V1 = 1.08 m3, V2 = 5.1m3

 

Summary

The question belongs to Chemical Engineering and the question is about 2 continuous stirred tank reactors in series. The conversion rates of the two reactors need to be calculated.
