Figure $7\mathrm{.}24$ Heat generation curve for Problem $7\mathrm{.}10.$

$($a$)$ Explain the shape of the heat generation curve. What type of reaction would give this

type of a heat generation curve? Justify your discussion with equations.

$($b$)$ Is it possible to have multiple steady$-$state temperatures for this system?

$($c$)$ What should be the temperature of the reactor to achieve the highest possible comver$-$

sion? How do you decide about the inlet temperature without having steady$-$state mul$-$

tiplicity in this case?
