We wish to design an incinerator to destroy acrolein in a 10,000 scfm waste gas stream. The acrolein in the waste gas stream must be 99.99 % destroyed. The kinetics of acrolein destruction is based on first-order kinetics with Arrhenius parameters, A = 3.3E+10 1/s; E = 35.9 kcal/mol; and R= 1.987 cal/mol. What would be the volume of the incinerator to obtain 99.99 % destruction of acrolein at a temperature of 1200oF?
