Question: The liquid phase reaction is run in a batch reactor. The following data are valid.rA = - kCAEA = 4 1 . 8 7

The liquid phase reaction is run in a batch reactor. The following data are valid.rA =-kCAEA=41.87\times 103 kJ/kmole =1050/3=2/30k (298 K)=1.7\times 10-4 s-1(298)=167.5\times 103/Cp =4.19 kJ/kgKV =0.5 m3CP and can be assumed to be constant. The tank reactor is made of steel and weighs 800 kg, Cp-steel =502.4 kJ/kgK.Calculate the conversion and the reactor temperature as a function of the reaction time if the initial temperature at time t=0 is 298 K and under the condition that the reactor is well insulated that the temperature losses to the environment may be neglected. What reaction time is required for a conversion of 95%?
