Question: A first - order liquid phase reaction is run in a RATB. The reagent concentration in the feed is 3 . 0 kmol / m

A first-order liquid phase reaction is run in a RATB. The reagent concentration in the feed is 3.0 kmol/m3 and the feed velocity is 60 x 10-6 m3/sec. The density and heat capacity of the constant mixture are 103 kg/m3 and 4.19 kJ/kg.K, respectively. The reactor volume is 18 x 10-3 m3. There are no products in the feed stream and the reactor operates adiabatically. Heat and rate of reaction: dlt H =-50,000 cal/gmol
'r =4.48 x 106 C exp (-62,800/RT), kmol/m3.sec.
where C is the concentration of the reagent in kmol/m3.sec; T in K and R =8.314 J/gmol.K. Activation energy is 62,800 J/gmol. If the feed enters at 298 K, what is the conversion and steady state temperature at the reactor outlet?
