 Q1) Given a CSTR where the first order reaction AB is

Q1) Given a CSTR where the first order reaction AB is taking place under adiabatic conditions Reactant A is fed at 50C with inlet concentration of 1.0mol/ liter and volumetric flow rate of 1.0 liter/min. Molecular weight of A=35g/g mole Rate of reaction of A is: rA=KCA where K=103exp(6500/T)min1 where T in Kelvin. Heat of reaction =42000J/mol Specific heat capacity of reaction mixture =2J/gK Density of reaction mixture =990g/ liter Assume heat of reaction, heat capacity and density do not vary with temperature and shaft work negigible. Determine the volume of the CSTR for a conversion of 90%
