Quiz 3

Three continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) operate under the same conditions with a reaction rate constant k of 0.02 min-1 and liquid volume of 500 L. Stream F1 enters CSTR-1 at 20 L/min with an A concentration of 0.5 mol/L. Stream F2 enters at 100 L/min with a B concentration of 1 mol/L. The reaction is pseudo-first order in A. 20% of the flow exiting CSTR-3 is recycled back to CSTR-1. The document asks to solve the material balances for components B, C, and D exiting the reactors using LU Decomposition.

Quiz 3

At steady state, F1 = 20 L/min with CA1 = 0.5 mol/L, and F2 = 100 L/min with CB2 =1 mol/L.
Since B is in highly excess, the reaction is considered as pseudo first order (-rA = kCA). The 3
reactors operating under the same condition with k = 0.02 min-1 and liquid volume of 500 L.
At CSTR-3, 20% of the exiting volumetric flowrate is recycled back to CSTR-1. Solve the
balance for components B, C, and D exiting reactors using LU Decomposition.
