Chemical Reaction Engineering
A pollutant P degrades according to first order kinetics. An aqueous stream containing P at 2 kmole/m³ and volumetric flow rate 1m³ /h requires a mixed flow reactor of volume V to bring down the pollutant level to 0.5 kmole/m³ . The inlet concentration of the pollutant is now doubled and the volumetric flow rate is tripled. If the pollutant level is to be brought down to the same level of 0.5 kmole/m³ , the volume of the mixed flow reactor should be increased by a factor of

A space time of 3 hours for a flow reactor means that

It takes three hours to dump the entire volume of the reactor with feed
The time required to process one reactor volume of feed (measured at specified conditions) is 3 hours
Conversion is cent per cent after three hours
Three reactor volumes of feed can be processed every hour
