The following data are known:
(a) For a reactor space time of 10 min, what is the conversion for a 300 K operating temperature? What is the conversion at 500 K? (Remember: the equilibrium constant depends on temperature.)
(b) If the feed temperature is 330 K and the feed concentration is 5 M, what is the necessary heat-removal rate per liter of reactor volume to maintain a 300 K operating temperature?
