Question: A chemical reactor operates at steady-state and receives a feed stream containing 100 kg/hr of a reactant with a mass fraction of 0.2. The reactant undergoes a reaction in the reactor, resulting in a product stream with a mass fraction of 0.6. The reactor is adiabatic, meaning there is no heat exchange with the surroundings. The reaction is exothermic and releases 1000 kJ/mol of heat. The molar mass of the reactant is 50 g/mol. Calculate the heat generated in the reactor per hour.
