The elementary, irreversible, organic liquid-phase reaction A + B → C is carried out adiabatically in a flow reactor. An equal molar feed in A and B enters at 27°C, and the volumetric flow rate is 2 dm³/s and C_A0 = 0.1 kmol/m³.
Additional information:

PFR
a. Plot and then analyze the conversion and temperature as a function of PFR volume up to where X = 0.85. Describe the trends.
b. What is the maximum inlet temperature one could have so that the boiling point of the liquid (550 K) would not be exceeded even for complete conversion?
c. Plot the heat that must be removed along the reactor (Q˙ vs. V) to maintain isothermal operation.
d. Plot and then analyze the conversion and temperature profiles up to a PFR reactor volume of 10 dm³ for the case when the reaction is reversible with K_C = 10 m³/kmol at 450 K. Plot the equilibrium conversion profile. How are the trends different than part (a)?
