Q3. An exothermic, 1st order reaction AB is carried out in a jacketed, stirred-tank
reactor at a steady-state temperature of 500K. The feed to the reactor is 0.5kmols-1 of
pure A at 300K and the jacket is at a constant temperature of 400K. Calculate the exit
conversion and estimate the overall heat transfer coefficient for the tank.
DATA
Rate constant: k=103exp(-4000T)s-1
Molar density of A and B:20kmolm-3
Heat capacity of A and B:250kJkmol-1K-1
Heat of reaction: -105kJkmol-1
Volume of reactor: 0.1m3
Heat transfer area: 1m2
The given solutions are wrong, they're doing 103 not 10^3 and that would give a very different result.
