Question: Problem 4 ( 2 5 / 1 0 0 ) : Two liquid phase, elementary reactions A D and A U take place simultaneously in

Problem 4(25/100): Two liquid phase, elementary reactions A D and A U take place
simultaneously in a continuous stirred tank reactor with a heat exchanger under steady state
conditions. The reactor volume is 100L. Diluted A is fed to the reactor. The total feed rate is 10
Lmin, the feed concentration of A is 0.1molL, and the inlet temperature is 250K. The constant
heat capacity of the solution is 0.5kJmolK. The gas constant is 8.314JmolK. Parameters are
listed below:
Heat exchange rate and coolant temperature: UA=0.01kJminK,Ta=250K.
The reaction heat, reference rate constant, and activation energy for the reaction AD :
HRrm,1=-120kJmol,k1=0.01min-1 at 300K,E1=41.6kJmol.
The reaction heat, reference rate constant, and activation energy for the reaction AU :
HRxn,2=50kJmol,k2=0.001min-1 at 300K,E2=49.9kJmol.
a) What would be the conversion of A if the reactor is operated isothermally at 405K?
b) Derive the expression for the heat generation term G(T) solely as a function of the residence
time (), reaction rate constants (k1 and k2), and reaction enthalpies (HRkn,1 and HRun,2).
c) Is it possible to operate the reactor with heat exchange in such a way that the steady state reactor
temperature is 405K? Justify your answer using numerical or/and graphical solution. please help solve with final answers.thank you so much
