A liquid-phase reaction (constant-density mixture, A B) is carried out in a CSTR (V = 10,000 Li). The reaction is second order in A with k = 9 x 1014 exp(- 13000/T) Li/mol-s and T in K. The aqueous feed (CAo = 1.8 mol/Li) enters the reactor at 25C and 200 Li/min. Assume the CSTR jacket (A = 20 m2) uses a coolant at 20C at high flow rate, meaning constant coolant temperature. The overall heat transfer coefficient, U = 100 W/m2-K, may be assumed. Find the reactor fractional conversion and temperature

C = = 200 / = 75 / = 60,000 /
