A very proprietary industrial-waste reaction, which we’ll code as , is to be carried out in a 10-dm3 CSTR followed by a 10-dm3 PFR. The reaction is elementary, but A, which enters at a concentration of 0.001 mol/dm3 and a molar flow rate of 20 mol/min, has trouble decomposing. The specific reaction rate at 42C (i. e., room temperature in the Mojave desert) is 0.0001 s1. However, we don’t know the activation energy; therefore, we cannot carry out this reaction in the winter in Michigan.
