- A first-order liquid phase reaction \( A \rightarrow B \) is conducted in two isothermal plug flow reactors (PFRs) of volume 1 m\(^3\) each, connected in series. The feed flow rate and concentration of A to the first reactor are 10 m\(^3\) h\(^{-1}\) and 1 kmol m\(^{-3}\), respectively. At steady-state, the concentration of A at the exit of the second reactor is 0.2 kmol m\(^{-3}\). If the two PFRs are replaced by two equal-volume continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) to achieve the same overall steady-state conversion, the volume of each CSTR, in m\(^3\), is:

- Methane combusts with air in a furnace according to the reaction \( \text{CH}_4 + 2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \). The heat of reaction \( \Delta H_{\text{rxn}} \) is -880 kJ per mol of CH4 and is assumed constant. The furnace is well-insulated, and no side reactions occur. All components behave as ideal gases with a constant molar heat capacity of 44 J mol\(^{-1}\) °C\(^{-1}\). Air is composed of 20 mol% O2 and 80 mol% N2. The air-fuel mixture enters the furnace at 50°C. The methane conversion \( X \) varies with the air-to-methane mole ratio \( r \) as \( X = 1 - 0.1 e^{-2(r-r_s)} \) with \( 0.9 r_s \leq r \leq 1.1 r_s \), where \( r_s \) is the stoichiometric air-to-methane mole ratio. For \( r = 1.05 r_s \), the exit flue gas temperature in °C, rounded off to 1 decimal place, is _____.

- A solid slab of thickness \( H1 \) is initially at a uniform temperature \( T0 \). At time \( t = 0 \), the temperature of the top surface at \( y = H1 \) is increased to \( T1 \), while the bottom surface at \( y = 0 \) is maintained at \( T0 \) for \( t \geq 0 \). Assume heat transfer occurs only in the \( y \)-direction, and all thermal properties of the slab are constant. The time required for the temperature at \( y = \frac{H1}{2} \) to reach 99% of its final steady value is \( T1 \). If the thickness of the slab is doubled to \( H2 = 2H1 \), and the time required for the temperature at \( y = \frac{H2}{2} \) to reach 99% of its final steady value is \( T2 \), then \( \frac{T2}{T1} \) is .
