To start the reactor, pure solvent is fed to the reactor at T0 = 320 K such that = 4 min. CA0 is gradually increased from 0 to 4 mol/L. What is X when CA0 reaches 4 mol/L? Describe how to bring the fractional conversion to 0.90, and then how to attain a steady state at the operating conditions above. Hint: Work this exercise graphically. Prepare a plot with Xmb and Xeb vs. temperature.

Data: = 9.7 mol/L Hrxn = 41.7 kJ/mol k = 1010e9200/T min1 Cp = 156 J/(molK)
