The chemical reactions A B C take place in the liquid phase in an adiabatic ideal CSTR with mean residence time . The reaction A

The chemical reactions ABC take place in the liquid phase in an adiabatic ideal
CSTR with mean residence time .
The reaction AB obeys first-order kinetics with rate constant k1 and is endothermic
with enthalpy of reaction H1=hkJkmol1.
The second reaction BC obeys first-order kinetics with rate constant k2 and is
exothermic with enthalpy of reaction H2=-2kJkmol-1.
The feed to the reactor is pure species A at temperature T0(in Kelvin). The heat
capacity of all species is Cp(in kJmmol-1K-1).
(a) By performing material balances, derive expressions for the concentration of A,B
and C in the reactor in terms of CAO.
(b) Perform a heat balance to show that the temperature T in the reactor obeys:
T-T0=hCp(k11+k1)(2k21+k2-1)
(c) Identify the temperature change that would take place in the reactor, and give a
physical explanation in each case, if the conditions are such that:
(i)k11 and k21
(ii)k1>1 and k21
(iii)k1>>1 and k2>>1.
