Liquid species A and C fed to a CSTR are expected to undergo the following reactions: ( 1 ) A + C D ( Desired

Liquid species A and C fed to a CSTR are expected to undergo the following reactions:
(1)A+CD(Desired),rD=(800e-2000T)CA0.5CC,T in K
(2)A+CU1(Undesired)rU1=(10e-300T)CACC,T in K
(a) What is the corresponding expression of the instantaneous selectivity and what are the temperature
and concentration strategies to maximize the selectivity?
(b) In reality, there is a subsequent undesired reaction taking place in the reactor:
(3)C+DU2(Undesired)rU2=(106e-8000T)CCCD,T in K
Calculate and plot the actual instantaneous selectivity SDUU,U=U1+U2 and the overall yield tilde(Y)D
for a CSTR with equimolar feed and space time =2min at 0C,100C,200C,300C,400
C, and 500C. Determine the temperatures that maximize SDU and tilde(Y)D.
