Question: A 1 st order, liquid - phase, exothermic reaction A - > B is run in a batch reactor. The reactor is well - insulated,

A 1st order, liquid-phase, exothermic reaction A->B is run in a batch reactor. The reactor is well-insulated, so no heat is lost to the surroundings. To control the temperature, an inert liquid C is added to the reaction. The flow rate of C is adjusted to keep T constant at 100\deg F. What is the flow rate of C after 2h?
TC0=80\deg F V0=50 ft3H\deg RX=-25000 Btu/lb mol
k(100\deg F)=1.2 x 10-4 s-1 Cp,(all components)=0.5 Btu/lb mol \deg F
CA0=0.5 lb mol/ft3
