Question

The elementary gas phase reaction 2A → 3B is carried out in a CSTR. The feed is pure A at 350 K with a flowrate of 4.0 L/s and 0.14 mol/s. The reaction vessel is heated by saturated steam (steam temperature = 170°C) within a heating coil (UA = 25 J/s-K). The exit stream is a 25% A / 75% B mixture by volume. What is the temperature in the reactor?

Assume HAO (298) = -50kJ/mol
HBO (298) = -30kJ/mol
CPA = 30J/mol-K
CPB = 15J/mol-K
