Q. An irreversible aqueous phase reaction, A + B → P, is carried out in an adiabatic mixed flow reactor. A feed containing 4 kmole/m³ of each A and B enters the reactor at 8 m³ /hr. If the temperature of the exit stream is never to exceed 390 K, what is the maximum inlet feed temperature allowed?

Data:
Heat of reaction = - 50 kJ/mole
Density of the reacting mixture = 1000 kg/m³
Specific heat of reacting mixture = 2 kJ/kg.K

The above data can be assumed to be independent of temperature and composition.
