Question:

The irreversible first-order reaction A→R is to be carried out in an adiabatic continuous flow stirred-tank reactor. The molecular weight of A is 18, and you may take all physical properties to be those of water and constant. The reaction rate k = ko exp(−E/RT), with ko = 109 min−1 and E/R = 9,250 K. ΔHR –88.3 kJ/mol. The feed enters at 2.83 m3/hr and 37.8◦C and contains 0.444 kg/m3 of A; 80 percent of the A is to be converted. Find the operating temperature and the volume of the reactor.
