The following parallel reactions are run in a 10 m3 batch reactor.
k1
A+B --> C With CA0=30 mol m-3 and CB0=20 mol m-3
k2
B+C --> D
Both reactions can be considered elementary.
The down time between batches is 120 min and the maximum temperature is 353 K
The purchase and selling prices of the reactants and product is given table 1.
Table 1
£ per mol Sell Buy
A 20 25
B 3 4
C 60 100
D 30 35
We know that:
k1=0.01×e-3000/8.314×T m3 mol-1 min-1
k2=0.5×e-25000/8.314×T m3 mol-1 min-1
Using any method of your choice, find the reactor conditions and process operations that will maximize the daily profit.
