A] What fraction of the material spends less than 6 min in the reactor?
B] Calculate the mean conversion in the reactor for a first order reaction if the fluid is
completely segregated ( k=0.1 min
-1
).
2] (25 pts) A 10-gal batch reactor is charged with A and B. The reaction is started on a very
cold day where the initial temperature is 20
o
F (Assume that
0 65 . 18
C B

). How many
minutes should it take to reach a conversion of 0.9? What would be the temperature at this
conversion?

3] (20 pts)Assume that the reaction in question #2 is carried out in a CSTR with a capacity of
300-gal. The conversion obtained from the mole balance is given in the graph on the next
page. Assume that T

A] If the CSTR is run adiabatically, what will be the exit conversion and temperature?
B] If a cooling coil with a heat transfer area of 40 ft
2
was used, what would be the exit
temperature? Assume that the flowrate of the cooling water inside the coil is sufficiently
large that a constant coolant temperature of 85
o
F can be maintained. The overall heat transfer
coefficient of the coil is 100 Btu/(h ft
2

o
F).
4] (20 pts) The following reaction is carried out isothermally in a semibatch reactor.
D C B A + +
An aqueous solution of B is fed to the reactor that already contains A.
A] Derive the differential equations for all the species (A,B,C and D). Assume that the
reaction is elementary.
B] Match the rate constants with the following graphs. Label each curve with the
correct species ( k=220 L/s mol, k= 0.022 L/s mol and k=2.2 L/s mol ).

5] (10 pts) Explain briefly why the reactor at Monsanto plant in Illinois exploded.
