The acid-catalyzed irreversible liquid-phase reaction:
A → B
carried out adiabatically in a CSTR. The reaction is second order in A. The feed, which is equal molar in water (containing the catalyst) and A, enters the reactor at a temperature of 52°C and a total volumetric flow rate of 10 dm^3/min. The concentration of A entering the reactor is 4 M. Vo = 10 dm^3 /min, Cao = 4 mol/dm^3, To = 325K.
(a) What is the reactor volume to achieve 80% conversion?
(b) What conversion can be achieved in a 1000 dm^3 CSTR?
What is the exit temperature?
Additional Information:
H = -3000 cal/gmol, Cpw = 18 cal/gmol/DC, Cpa = 15 cal/gmol/DC,
k = 0.0005 at 25DC, Cpb, 15 cal/gmol/DC, E = 15,000 cal/mol

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.
