Behavior in Case of Cooling Failure

In the case of cooling failure, if the feed remains active, the reactor behaves adia-batically and its temperature and conversion are shifted to the corresponding adiabatic working point. Thus, its behavior can be predicted using the heat and material balance, as developed in Section 8.2.4. 

If the feed is suddenly stopped, it behaves as an adiabatic batch reactor with an accumulation corresponding to the non-converted fraction, thus the maximum temperature of the synthesis reaction is 

A reaction A—-— P is to be performed in a CSTR. The reaction follows first-order kinetics and at 50 °C, the conversion reaches 99% in 60 seconds. The reaction is to be performed in a CSTR with the same productivity as the semi-batch reactor (Worked Example 7.1). The overall heat transfer coefficient of the reactor is 500 Wm 2 K 1. The maximum temperature difference with the cooling system is 50 K. 

Reactor design what must be the volume of the CSTR in order to achieve the same performance as the 5 m3 semi-batch reactor with time-cycle of 2 hours and a conversion of 99%  

Isothermal reaction under what conditions is this strategy possible
