Question: A first - order, liquid - phase, endothermic reaction, A Products, occurs in a CSTR ( MFR ) . The feed concentration ( CA 0

A first-order, liquid-phase, endothermic reaction, A Products, occurs in a CSTR (MFR). The feed concentration (CA0) is 1.25 mol\times L-1, the feed rate (q) is 20 L\times s-l, and the volume of the reactor (V) is 20,000 L. The enthalpy of the reaction (Hr) is 50,000 J\times mol-1, the specific heat of the reacting system is 3 J\times g-1\times K-1, and its density is 900 g\times L-1. If the feed temperature (Tin) is 300 K, at what temperature (Tcoil) must a heating coil in the tank be maintained to keep the temperature (T) of the reaction in the tank the same as Tin? What is the obtained conversion? At 300 K, the rate constant kA =410-3 s-1. For the coil, assume UA =10,000 J\times s-1\times K-1.
