Question: A first order liquid phase reaction is conducted adiabatically in a CSTR. The feed temperature is 300 K, the mean residence time is 1 h

A first order liquid phase reaction is conducted adiabatically in a CSTR. The feed temperature is 300 K, the mean residence time is 1 h and the reactant concentration in the feed is 2 mol/L. It is experimentally observed that the system has two stable operating temperatures of 302 K and 379 K for the given feed temperature. a) Derive R(T) and G(T) equations. b) Determine the temperature and conversion for the third, unstable steady state.
