An acid-catalyzed irreversible liquid-phase reaction A B is carried out adiabatically in a CSTR. The reaction is second order in A. The feed is equimolar A and solvent (S, which contains catalyst), and enters the reactor at a total volumetric flow rate of 10 dm3/min at a concentration of A of 4 mol/L. The feed enters at 300 K. The product and reactant heat capacities are 15 cal/(mol°C), the solvent is 18 cal/(mol°C). The reaction rate constant at 300 K...

2. A total of 10000 L/h of metaxylene, C&H(CHs)2, is being isomerized to a mixture of orthoxylene, metaxylene, and paraxylene in a reactor with a volume of 1000 L. The isomerization reaction can be represented as: where A is the metaxylene being fed to the reactor, and B are the different isomers formed. The reaction is being carried out at 400°C and 20 bar. Under these conditions, 35% of the metaxylene fed to the reactor is...
