Question

An endothermic reaction (A + B → C) is carried out in a CSTR. The reactor has a jacket using the ethylene glycol as the heat transfer fluid.

The molar flow rate of species A into the reactor is 2 lbmol/hr
Ignoring the sign, the magnitude of the enthalpy of the above reaction is 2,682 BTU/lbmol
The fractional chemical conversion of the species A in the reactor is 0.3
The mass flow rate of the ethylene glycol is 2.9 lb_m/min and the entering temperature is 148 °F
The specific heat of the ethylene glycol is 0.6 BTU/lbm-F
The system is isothermal and at constant density

What is the required duty of the reactor jacket in units of BTU/hr?
