Extracted text: Estimate the volume of a plug-flow reactor (in m3) required for production of ethylene from ethane (C,H, → C,H, + H,) based on the following data and assumptions: a. The feed is pure ethane at 1 kg s-', 1000K and 2 bar (abs). b. The reaction is first-order and irreversible at low conversion, with k = 0.254 s- at 1000 K. c. The reactor is operated isothermally and isobarically. d. Conversion of ethane is 20% at the outlet.
