Question: The CSTR ( Continuous Stirred Reactor ) design that needed for C 7 H 8 + CH 3 OOH + 1 / 2 O 2

The CSTR (Continuous Stirred Reactor) design that needed for C7H8+CH3OOH+1/2O2---C6H5CH2OCOCH3 reaction which has activation energy of 60 kJ/mol , density of 1.168 kg/m3, mass flow rate 184.5 kg/h and inlet temperature to reactor is 25 Celsius and the outlet temperature 60 Celsius and the Arrhenius constant -frequency factor- of 2.9*10^4 and the volume of the reactor 30 m^3(assumed).Do the necessary calculations for this CSTR design and derive the conversion equations for both mass balance and energy balance.
A) Plot the graph conversion vs temperature for mass balance
B) Plot the graph for conversion vs temperature for energy balance
