You have available as a heating medium saturated steam at 212°F. The feed is available at 130°F. What area of heating coil (if any) will you specify to maximize the production of B? (Ans.: A = 106 ft 2 .)
| You wish to use an existing CSTR for the liquid-phase exothermic first-order reaction | ||

| Unfortunately, there is also an undesired side reaction | ||

| Reasonable assumptions: The density and specific heat of fluid are unchanged by reaction or temperature change. The effect of the coil on the effective reactor volume is negligible. |
