Chemical Reaction Engineering
In the hydrodealkylation of toluene to benzene, the following reactions occur:C₇H₈ + H₂ → C₆H₆ + CH₄2C₆H₆ ⇋ C₁₂H₁₀ + H₂Toluene and hydrogen are fed to a reactor in a molar ratio 1:5.80% of the toluene gets converted and the selectivity of benzene(defined as moles of benzene formed/moles of toluene converted) is 90%. The fractional conversion of hydrogen is

Chemical Reaction Engineering
A CSTR is to be designed in which an exothermic liquid phase first order reaction of the type, A → R, is taking place. The reactor is to be provided with a jacket in which coolant is flowing. Following data is given: CA0= 5 kmole/m³ ; XA = 0.5; Feed temperature = reactor temperature = 40°C. Rate constant at 40°C = 1 min⁻¹ ; (ΔH) = - 40kJ/mole; ρ = 1000kg/m³ CP = 4 J/gm.°C ; q = 10⁻³ m³/min (ρ and CP are same for the reactant and product streams). The amount of heat to be removed is

2/3 kW
4kW
1kW
5/3 kW
