The irreversible reaction is carried out in a reactor that initially contains 2.5 m3 of solution with a concentration of 1 kmol of A per cubic meter of solution. A solution containing 0.50 kmol of A/m3 enters the tank at a rate of 10 m3/h and is mixed perfectly with the existing solution. The resulting product solution leaves the reactor at 5.0 m2/h. The reaction is first order with k = 0.2 hr"1. Calculate the initial da/dt. A. - 2.4 kmol/(h·m2)
B. - 2.6 kmol/(h·m2)
C. - 2.8 kmol/(h·m2)
D.- 2.2 kmol/(h·m3)
E. None of the given answers.

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
