The following elementary irreversible reaction is in liquid phase. A + B - > C An equal molar of A& B enters at 3 0

The following elementary irreversible reaction is in liquid phase.
A + B -> C
An equal molar of A& B enters at 300 K with v0=2 dm3/s. For the given data below:
H_A (273K)=-20 kcal/mol H_c (273K)=-41 kcal/mol
H_B (273K)=-15 kcal/mol
Activation energy, E =10 kcal/mol
k =0.01 dm3/mol.s at 300K CA0=0.1 kmol/m3
CPA = CPB =15 kcal/mol.K CPC =30 kcal/mol.K
Determine the PFR volumes necessary to achieve 50% conversion if the system are operated adiabatically.
Plot the conversion and temperature profiles if the temperature was maintained by using heat exchanger where Ua =20 cal/m3.s/K and the coolant temperature is constant at Ta =450K.
Repeat for (b) for a co-current heat exchanger for a coolant flow rate of 50 g/s and CP,C =1 cal/g.K, and inlet coolant temperature of Ta0=450K.
