How should we operate a mixed flow reactor so as to maximize the production of R? Separation and recycle of unused reactant is not practical.

Under ultraviolet radiation, reactant A of C_A0 = 10 kmol/m³ in a process stream (v = lm³/min) decomposes as follows.

We wish to design a reactor setup for a specific duty. Sketch the scheme selected, and calculate the fraction of feed transformed into desired product as well as the volume of reactor needed.
