A reaction is carried out in an adiabatic CSTR with a volume of 10,000 L. The feed solution with reactant A, at a concentration of 5 M, is supplied at 10 L s-1. The reaction is first-order with rate constant:
k = 1013 exp(-12500/T) S-1, where T is in K
The density is 1000 kg m- 3 and Cp = 1.0 kcal kg-1K- 1. The heat of reaction is dH, = -70 kJ mol- 1
(a) Calculate the reactor temperature and exit concentration for feed temperatures of 280, 300, and 320 K.
(b) To maintain the reactor temperature below 373 K, a well-mixed cooling jacket at 290 K is used. Show that it is possible to get 90 percent conversion in this reactor with a feed temperature of 320 K. Do you anticipate any start-up problems?

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Water at 70°f and streams enter the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the exiting stream. 0 psia is heated in a chamber by mixing it with saturated water vapor at 20 psia. if both streams enters the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the existing system.
