A closed stirred-tank reactor with two compartments is shown in Fig. E2.6. The basic idea is to feed the reactants continuously into the first compartment, where they will be pre-heated by energy liberated in the 2nd order exothermic reaction2A→B, which is anticipated to occur primarily in the second compartment. The wall separating the two compartments is quite thin, thus allowing heat transfer;the outside of the reactor is well insulated; and a cooling coil is built into the second compartment to remove excess energy liberated in the reaction. Develop a mathematical model for this process.
