Question

The formation of nitroanaline(an important intermediate in dyes) is formed from the reaction of orthonitrochlorobenzene(ONCB) and aqueous ammonia with ammonium chloride as a by-product.

Let the reaction be represented symbolically as A+2B=C+D

The reaction occurs in the liquid phase and is first order in both ONCB and ammonia with k=0.0017m3/kmol.min at 461K with E=11273cal/mol.The initial entering concentrations of A(ONCB) and B(ammonia) are 1.8kmol/m3 and 6.6kmol/m3, respectively.

What would be the CSTR reactor volume to achieve 90% conversion at 561K for a molar feed rate of 2mol/min.Calculate the space time for this reactor.

(Use R=1.987 cal/mol. K, where R is the universal gas constant).
