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
5/3 kW
1kW
4kW

The reaction rate almost gets doubled for 10°C rise in temperature. This is due to the fact that the

Fraction of molecules having threshold energy increases
Increased temperature reduces the activation energy
Value of threshold energy decreases
Collision frequency increases

The reactions of high molecularity are rare, because

Many body collisions are not favoured energetically
Of requirement of very large concentration for such reactions
Of very large activation energy of many bodies
Of low probability of many body collisions
