Question

The endothermic liquid-phase elementary reaction

A+B→2C

proceeds, substantially, to completion in a single steam-jacketed, continuous-stirred reactor(Table P12-6_B). From the following data, calculate the steady-state reactor temperature:

Reactor volume: 125 gal
Steam jacket area:10ft²

Jacket steam: 150 psig (365.9^oF saturation temperature)
Overall heat-transfer coefficient of jacket,U: 150 Btu/h^.ft^2.oF
Agitator shaft horsepower: 25 hp
Heat of reaction,∆H^o_RX=+20,000
Btu/lb-mol of A (independent of temperature)
