Company 1 are looking at conduction isomerisation reaction in a CSTR, moving away from a batch reactor and need find the following: - The liquid hold up in the tank, V₁ The heat load on the cooler if the plant is to be operational for 8000h in the year. Information The first order isomerisation reaction A --> B is to be carried out in a perfectly mixed single CSTR. The contents are to be maintained at 436K using coiling coils. However the feed stream of component A (liquid) is supplied at 293K. The densities of A and B at 436K are each 900 kg m-³ and their heat capacities and relative molecular weights are 0.525 kJ mol-¹K 250 respectively. The rate constant (K436) at 436K = 0.80h-¹. An annual production rate of B of 106 Kg is required at a conversion of 0.97. Calculate the volume, V₁, of the reactor. Calculate the heat duty on the cooler.

Information
The first order isomerisation reaction A --> B is to be carried out in a perfectly mixed single
CSTR. The contents are to be maintained at 436K using coiling coils. However the feed
stream of component A (liquid) is supplied at 293K. The densities of A and B at 436K are
each 900 Kg m-³ and their heat capacities and relative molecular weights are 0.525 kJ mol-¹K
250 respectively. The rate constant (K436) at 436K = 0.80h-1. An annual production rate of B
of 106 Kg is required at a conversion of 0.97.
Calculate the volume, Vr, of the reactor.
Calculate the heat duty on the cooler.
