The liquid phase reaction A+B+C follows an elementary rate law and takes place in a 1 m CSTR, to which the volumetric flow rate is 0.5 m3/min and the entering concentration of A is 1 M. The reaction vessel is jacketed with cooling fluid to maintain isothermal operation at 300 K. For an equimolar feed of A and B, the conversion is 20%. When the reaction is carried out adiabatically, the temperature is 350 K, and the conversion is 40%. The heat capacities of A, B and C are 25, 35, and 60 kJ/mol/K, respectively. It is proposed to add a second reactor of the same size downstream in series with the first CSTR. The second CSTR is also jacketed, with UA = 4.0 kJ/min/K and the coolant fluid enters and exits at virtually the same temperature (350 K). a) What is the rate of heat removal from the first reactor necessary for isothermal operation?
b) What is the conversion exiting the second reactor?

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.

To save energy, the air supply to a 2000 ft office has been shut off overnight and the room temperature has dropped to 40°f. in the morning, the thermostat is reset to 70°f and warm air at 120 f begins to flov in at 200ft'/min. the air is well mixed within the room, and an equal mass flow of air at room temperature (changing with time) is withdrawn through a return duct. the air pressure is nearly 1 atm everywhere. ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, estimate how long it takes for the room temperature to reach 70°f. plot the room temperature as a function of time.
