Question: The elementary first order liquid phase reaction A B is carried out in a jacketed CSTR . Feed contains pure A and enters reactor molar

The elementary first order liquid phase reaction AB is carried out in a jacketed CSTR. Feed contains pure A and enters reactor molar flow rate of 60molmin and the space time is 100min with k=0.04min-1. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 480calm2*min.K and heat exchanger area is 10m2, heat of reaction is -3,000calmol, and Cp0=20calmol.K and Tc=340K. If the reactor drifts to temperature of 400K getting conversion of 50%, then determine which condition holds true;
i. The reactor heats up
ii. The reactor operates at steady state
iii. The reactor cools down
iv. Not enough information
 The elementary first order liquid phase reaction AB is carried out
