2. (4 points) Under normal operating conditions, a 2nd order endothermic reaction, carried FAO out in a CSTR, has a -TA FAO -rA vs x relationship as shown below on the top panel. In one of your experiments, you obtain the relationship shown on the bottom panel. Without a doubt, your heating system malfunctioned. a) Identify in which periods the heating failed, and whether the malfunction caused an increased OR a reduction on the heat provided. Explain your answer b) Did the residence time increased or decreased? Explain your answer T = 2h FAO -rA = ?? X X 2.
