Suppose the volumetric flow rate could be increased to as much as 6,000 dm3/h and the total time to fail,
heat, empty and clean is 4.5 hours. What is the maximum number of moles of ethylene glycol (CH2OH)2
you can make in one 24 hour period? The feed rate of ethylene cholorhydrin will be adjusted so that the
volume of fluid at the end of the reaction time will be 2500 dm3. Now suppose CO2 leaves the reactor as
fast as it is formed.

To produce 200 moles of D, 200 moles of A and 200 moles of B are needed. Because the concentration of
A must be kept low, it makes sense to add A slowly to a large amount of B. Therefore, we will start with
pure B in the reactor. To get 200 moles of B, we need to fill the reactor with at least 800 dm3 of pure B.
Assume it will take 6 hours to fill, heat, etc. the reactor. That leaves 18 hours to carry out the reaction. We
Now vary the initial amount of B in the reactor, the flow rate of A, and the temperature to find a solution
that satisfies all the constraints. The program below shows one possible solution.

In a PFR no hydrogen escapes and the equilibrium conversion is reached.
solve this for X,
If feed rate is doubled, then the initial values of Fa and Fb are doubled. This results in a conversion of .459
