An irreversible aqueous phase reaction, A + B → P, is carried out in an adiabatic mixed flow reactor. A feed containing 4 kmole/m3 of each A and B enters the reactor at 8 m3/hr. If the temperature of the exit stream is never to exceed 390 K, what is the maximum inlet feed temperature allowed?
(Data: Heat of reaction = -50 kJ/mole, Density of the reacting mixture = 1000 kg/m3, Specific heat of reacting mixture = 2 kJ/kg.K)
The above data can be assumed to be independent of temperature and composition.
The fresh feed to an ammonia synthesis reactor contains nitrogen, hydrogen and 2.0 mole per cent inerts. The molar ratio of H2:N2 is 3:1. The product stream consists of pure ammonia. Since conversion in the reactor is only 15%, a recycle stream is used and in order to avoid build-up of inerts, a purge stream is withdrawn. The rate of purge stream is adjusted to keep inert concentration in the recycle stream at 8 mole per cent. For a fresh feed rate of 100 moles/hr. Note that recycle stream contains only nitrogen, hydrogen and inerts. The N2:H2 ratio of 1:3 is maintained in every process stream, and calculate the moles of nitrogen entering the reactor and in the recycle stream?
Pick out the wrong statement below:
I. For the same conversion, the holding time required in a batch reactor, is always equal to the space time required in a PFR.
II. Two mixed reactors of unequal size are available for producing a specified product, formed by a homogenous second order reaction. To achieve maximum production rate, the smaller reactor should be placed in series before the larger reactor.
III. Arrehenius equation describing the effect of temperature on rate constant is given by, $${\text{K}} = {\text{A}}.{{\text{e}}^{ - \frac{{{\text{Ea}}}}{{{\text{RT}}}}}}$$
IV. The mechanism for the decomposition of CH3CHO into CH4 and CO in presence of I2 is:
CH3CHO + I2 → CH3I + HI + CO; slow
CH3I + HI → CH4 + I2; fast
Then the rate of disappearance CH3CHO is equal to K.CCH3l.CHl and acts as a catalyst.

Calculate the fractional conversion of the limiting reactant and the percentage by which the other reactant is in excess. If the molar flow rate of the feed stream is 165 mol/s, what is the extent of reaction?
