Problem 7 (Flow Reactors- CSTR-Adiabatic): An irreversible A+B reaction is carried out in a perfectly stirred continuous adiabatic reactor. the reaction enthalpy is -12800 kJ/kmol, the reaction rate constant can be calculated with the formula 8.41.104.2-49200 RT (s?). The mixture has an average specific heat capacity of 2440 J/(kg:K) and a density of 800 kg/m3. The feed concentration of A is 12 kmol/m3. The reaction enthalpy and the specific heat capacity of the materials do not depend on the temperature. I a) Calculate the conversion and the reactor temperature, if the initial mixture is fed into a reactor with 3.9 m useful volume at 303 K, at a rate of 0.006 m3/s! b) Calculate the conversion and the reactor temperature, if the initial mixture is fed into a reactor with 3.25 m useful volume at 283 K! The average residence time is kept equal to that in part a)
