PFR (Pug Flow Reactor) and CSTR (Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor) in Parallel
Please see the attached file for the fully formatted problem(s).
An elementary liquid phase reaction (irreversible first order) A ---> R, takes place in a PFR and the conversion is 96%. If a mixed flow reactor of 10 times as large as the PFR is hooked up in parallel with the existing unit, by what fraction could the production be increased for the same 96% conversion?
In this problem both PFR and CSTR are connected in parallel and the fraction increse in product has been determined.
The solution is detailed and well presented.
