A reversible, liquid-phase reaction 2A = B is carried out in 2 CSTRs in series. The feed contains a solution of A at a volumetric flow rate equal to 250 L.h -1 and concentration 3 mol.L^-1. The first reactor is isothermal and operates at 325K. What should be the temperature of the second CSTR so that the output conversion of A is 90%, being that the reaction rate in the second reactor should be as high as possible. Identify and calculate the rates of heat transfer that must be present in the reaction system. Both CSTRs have the same volume. (-ra) = k1(CA)^2 - K2Cg; k1 = 4.1 x 10^6 exp(-E_/RT) mol L^-1 s^-1; E1 = 15000 cal/mol for Tin Kelvin; k2 = 1.22 x 10^9 exp(-E2/RT) 5^-1; E2 = 20000 cal/mol for T in Kelvin; Consider that heat capacity of the reaction solution is 850 cal L^-1 K^-1
