The formula to calculate the Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor (vo) is:
\[ vo = \frac{FAo}{CAo} \]
The Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor gives the volume of the reactants stream being fed to the reactor per unit time. The Molar Feed Rate of Reactant gives the number of moles of A being fed to the reactor per unit time. The Concentration of Key Reactant A in the Feed gives the concentration of reactant A being fed to the reactor.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ vo = \frac{5}{0.5} \approx 10 \]
The Volumetric Flow Rate of Reactant is approximately 10 m³/s.
| Molar Feed Rate (mol/s) | Concentration (mol/m³) | Volumetric Flow Rate (m³/s) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.5 | 2.000 |
| 2 | 0.5 | 4.000 |
| 3 | 0.5 | 6.000 |
| 4 | 0.5 | 8.000 |
| 5 | 0.5 | 10.000 |
| 6 | 0.5 | 12.000 |
| 7 | 0.5 | 14.000 |
| 8 | 0.5 | 16.000 |
| 9 | 0.5 | 18.000 |
| 10 | 0.5 | 20.000 |
