The following reactions are taking place in a 2000 L liquid phase batch reactor that has a heat exchanger inside with UA= 120 cal/s-K and the coolant flow rate was at its maximum value so that exchanger temperature, Tat (enter) Taz (leave) = T₂ = 400 K. A + 2BC -T1A=K₁ACAC 3C+24 24 D -T2A = K2ACACE B+3CE -T3c=kacCBCC The initial temperature is 450 K, and the initial concentrations of A, B and C are 1.0, 0.5 and 0.2 mol/dm³, respectively. Additional information: As a first approximation, assume all heats of reaction are constant (i.e., ACPy=0) Specific reaction rates at 450 K are (dm³ K₁=1 x 10-3 mol 1 K₂A x 10-³ (dm³) mol (dm³ mol 31 871 CPA =10 cal/mol K = 10 cal/mol K CPR CPC .
