01.(marks: 33) Reactant Ais continuously fed to a stirred tank reactor (as shown in the figure)
with a volumetric flow rate Fo. Reactant A converts toB,andB converts to A viaa first-order
reversible reaction. Both reactions (A->B and B->A) are exothermic with the heat of reaction
hri (Joule/mol) and h2 (Joule/mol), respectively (values of h,i and h2 are negative for
exothermic reaction and positive for endothermic reaction). A cooling jacket is installed around
the reactor to remove theexothermic heat generated due to the reaction. Cooling liquid with a
volumetric flow Fe and inlet temperature Tc (<T) continuously removes the heat to maintain
the desired reaction temperature.
