A space velocity of 5 hr-1 means that ___________________?

A. Five reactor volumes of feed (at specified conditions) are being fed into the reactor per hour
B. After every 5 hours, reactor is being filled with the feed
C. Cent per cent conversion can be achieved in at least 5 hours
D. A fixed conversion of a given batch of feed takes 5 hours

The reaction A → B is conducted in an adiabatic plug flow reactor (PFR). Pure A at a concentration of 2 kmol/m3is fed to the reactor at the rate of 0.01 m3 /s and at a temperature of 500 K. If the exit conversion is 20%, then the exit temperature (in k) is (Data: Heat of reaction at 298 K = – 50000 kJ/ kmole of A reacted Heat capacities CPA = CPB = 100kJ/kmole. K (may be assumed to be independent of temperature)) ?
