The first-order irreversible exothermic liquid phase reaction, AB, is to be carried out in a jacketed RR. Species A and an inert I are fed to the reactor in equimolar amounts. The molar feed rate of A is mol/min. (a) What is the reactor temperature for a feed temperature of 450K ? (b) Plot the reactor temperature as a function of the feed temperature. (c) To what inlet temperature must the fluid be preheated for the reactor to operate at a high conversion? What are the corresponding temperature and conversion of the fluid in the CSTR at this inlet temperature? (d) Suppose that the fluid is now heated 5C above the temperature in the previous part and then cooled 20C, where it remains? What will be the conversion? (e) What is the inlet extinction temperature for this reactor system? (Ans: T0=87C ) Additional Information: Heat capacity of the inert: 30cal/gmolC=100min Heat capacity of A and B:20cal/gmolCHRx=7500cal/mol UA: 8000cal/minC k=6.6103min1 at 350K Ambient Temperature, Ta:300K E=40,000cal/molK
