Question: A reactor is fed initially with 1 0 0 moles of reactant B ( V = 1 0 L ) . A at a concentration

A reactor is fed initially with 100 moles of reactant B(V=10L). A at a concentration of 1M
is slowly added to the reactor over a course of 12hr at T=25oC. The following exothermic
reaction (Standard heat of reaction is -80kJmol) takes isothermally at T=70C.
A+BkC,(rC=k,CA)
Where, k=0.15hr-1. Determine the following:
1.1. The concentration of A and product C in the reactor as a function of time if A is added at
a constant flow rate of 2Lhr.
1.2. The concentration of A and product C in the reactor as a function of time if A is added
exponentially at a rate of (0.5e0.2t).
1.3. The heat released from the reactor at the end of the run for both operational modes If Cp
is 50JmolK.
 A reactor is fed initially with 100 moles of reactant B(V=10L).
