Homework Statement For an irreversible first-order liquid-phase reaction (CA,0 = 10 mol/L) conversion is 90% in a plug flow reactor. If two-thirds of the stream leaving the reactor is recycled to the reactor entrance, and if the throughput to the whole reactor-recycle system is kept unchanged...

Thank you for the clear explanation! I got it now.

Thank you for the help. I've looked at the differential equation and it makes much more sense now. If we know that [A] = 129,3 mol / m3 at the output of the CSTR and we know that X = 1 - ([A] / [A]0) this means that: X = 1 - (129.3 / 300) = 0.57 So the conversion for this reaction in a CSTR...

Homework Statement We have a second order reaction: A + B → C + D with -rA = k[A][ B] [A]0 = [ B]0 = 300 mol / m3; τ = 11 minutes. k = 4.0 × 10-4 m3 / (mol × minutes) What is the conversion in a CSTR?Homework Equations I think: τ = ([A]0 - [A]1) / -rA,1 τ = (XA × [A]0) / -rA,1 But since I...
