Space Velocity using Molar Feed Rate of Reactant Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Space Velocity = Molar Feed Rate of Reactant/(Concentration of Reactant in Feed*Reactor Volume)
s = F_Ao/(C_A0*V_reactor)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Space Velocity - (Measured in Hertz) - The Space Velocity of a reactor gives us the number of reactor volumes that can be treated per unit time.
Molar Feed Rate of Reactant - (Measured in Mole per Second) - The Molar Feed Rate of Reactant gives the number of moles of A being fed to the reactor per unit time.
Concentration of Reactant in Feed - (Measured in Mole per Cubic Meter) - Concentration of Reactant in Feed is the number of moles entering the reactor per volume of feed.
Reactor Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The Reactor Volume gives us the capacity of the reactor.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Molar Feed Rate of Reactant: 5 Mole per Second --> 5 Mole per Second No Conversion Required
Concentration of Reactant in Feed: 30 Mole per Cubic Meter --> 30 Mole per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Reactor Volume: 2.49 Cubic Meter --> 2.49 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

s = F_Ao/(C_A0*V_reactor) --> 5/(30*2.49)

Evaluating ... ...

s = 0.0669344042838019

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0669344042838019 Hertz -->0.0669344042838019 Cycle per Second (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.0669344042838019 ≈ 0.066934 Cycle per Second <-- Space Velocity

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
