Consider the following conversion data for A vs. reaction speed.
We wish to analyze the 4 cases of reactors in series that are presented in the diagram. The molar input flow of A is 1 gmol/s. For all cases, the global conversion to the output of the first reactor is 30% and the global conversion at the output of the second is 60%.
For each case, calculate the required volume (of each reactor and total) and tabulate your results. For each case, plot the volume of each reactor on a –FAo/rA vs. FOR Could the best case have been deduced by analyzing the diagrams without the need for the calculations? Calculate the local conversion of the second reactor.
