Question: Q 2 . Consider a CSTR with the following irreversible liquid phase reaction: 2 A ( l ) + B ( l ) 2 C

Q2. Consider a CSTR with the following irreversible liquid phase reaction:
2A(l)+B(l)2C(l)+D(l),rA=-kCA2CB0.5
The Arrhenius parameters for this reaction are: A=7106L1.5mol1.5*s,E=55kJmol
The reactor is fed with a solution and the solution at 30C has 6molL of A and 4molL of B.
a) What flowrate (in Ls) would give 88% conversion of A at 50C?
b) The reactor is operating at 50C with the flowrate found in part a). Under this condition,
the flowrate of cooling water through the coil is 4Ls. What is the heat of reaction, rH, for
the reaction above (in kJmol)?
c) What is the overall heat transfer coefficient (in Wm2.C)?
