Consider an irreversible endothermic reaction () in a batch reactor heated by a steam jacket at temperature surrounding the reactor. The jacket heat transfer area and coefficient are and . The reactor volume is . The reaction rate constant is given by , with the activation energy and the universal gas constant . The initial concentration of is and is the initial molar ratio. The initial reactor temperature is 30°C. The mass and energy balances are
