Finding MSS for an Endothermic Reaction
Can there be multiple steady states (MSS) for a irreversible first order endothermic reaction?

Can there be multiple steady states (MSS) for a irreversible first order endothermic reaction?
Solution
For an endothermic reaction HRX is positive, (e.g., HRX=+100 kJ/mole).
There are no multiple steady states for an endothermic, irreversible first order reactor.
The steady state reactor temperature is TS. Will a reversible endothermic
first order reaction have MSS?
