I would suggest setting up the equations for this multiple steady state problem in Excel. The irreversibie, elementary reaction AB is carried out in a CSTR. Plot the heat-generated and heat-removed curves on the same graph. Assume the following reactor, reaction, and thermodynamic parameters: FA0=10mol/sV=500Lk=0.001s1at373KDHR0=80kJ/molCA0=2mol/LUA=2000J/KsE=150kJ/molCpA=CpB40J/molKT0=27CTa=40C (a) How many steady states are there? (b) Make a plot of the reactor temperature as a function of inlet temperature T0. What are the ignition and extinction temperatures? (c) What is the effect of changing air temperature, Ta (winter-summer) on multiple steady states
