I have a problem.

Reactor is 3 KL

Reaction between A and B in solvent S

A and solvent are in the reactor filled with 50% of the reactor volume.

Heat of rxn is x cal/kg

3 kl reactor have 1.5 kl empty space. reaction at solvent S boiling temp.

no heat removal by jacket. scenario : condenser cooling failure.

Reactor design pr is 6 kg/cm2. and Rupture disc design pressure 2 kg/cm2

Problem: when cooling failure, how many kg of B is required to burst the rupture disc.

How to do this problem.

Ideal gas law we need to use.
