Determine the concentration and temperature profiles


Two immiscible fluids are in contact. Fluid I is denser and is also well mixed. The concentration of species a is cao everywhere within this fluid and the temperature in fluid I is held constant at To. Species a diffuses through stagnant fluid II and undergoes a first order to form species b within the fluid. Assume constant properties for both phases. The reaction occurs having a rate constant of k'' and is occuring in an exothermic manner, giving deltaHr joules per mole of a reacted. The following boundary conditions apply at x=0, ca = Keqcao and T=To and at x=L, (dco/dx)=0 and (dT/dx)=0. Determine the concentration and temperature profiles for this system.
