Consider the following liquid phase reaction (constant volume) in an adiabatic
batch reactor.
A+BC
The initial concentrations for A and B are 4.55kmolm3 and 5.34kmolm3.
The reaction is a first-order reaction for both A and B(-rA=kCACB). The rate
constant k=1.371012exp(-12628T)m3kmol*s
The energy balance equation is
T-T0=nA0(-Hr)mtotbar(Cp,tot)xA
Hr=-33.5kJmol
T0=326K
mtot is the total mass of the reaction mixture.
The volumetric heat capacity for the reaction mixture is 1980kJm3*K
a) Derive the relationship between T and xA
b) Calculate the time needed for the system to reach 373K(you may use your
calculator for the integral)Consider the following liquid phase reaction (constant volume) in an adiabatic
batch reactor.
