SOLVE THIS USING PYTHON: CSTR with multiple steady states
The elementary liquid phase reaction:
A -> B
occurs in a jacketed CSTR. Species A and inert I are fed to the reactor in equimolar
amounts. The molar feed rate of A is 80 mol/min.
Information:
cP,I =30 cal/(mol \deg C) cP,A = cP,B =20 cal/(mol \deg C)
UA =8000 cal/(min \deg C)H R =-7500 cal/mol
k =6.6 x 10-3 min -1 at 350 K Ta =300K
Ea =40,000 cal/(mol K)\tau =100 min
a.) What is the reactor temperature at a feed temperature of 450K?
b.) Plot the reactor temperature as a function of the feed temperature.
c.) Suppose that you begin with a feed temperature of 250K, which you slowly
increase. What inlet temperature must the reactor be heated before the reactor
operates at a high conversion? What are the corresponding temperature and
conversion of the fluid in the CSTR just above this inlet temperature?
d.) Suppose that the inlet fluid is now heated 5\deg C above the temperature in part c
and is cooled by 20\deg C where it remains. What will be the conversion?
e.) What is the feed temperature which will cause extinction for this reaction
system?
