1. (35 points) Consider an irreversible, liquid-phase, elementary reaction A2B taking place in two reactors in series, where the first reactor is a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and the second reactor is a plug flow reactor (PFR) with one-third (1/3) of the volume of the first reactor. Assume that the volumetric fiow rate remains unchanged throughout the process. (A) (5 points) Write down the rate law describing the rate of disappearance of A(Le,FA) in terms of the rate constant (K), the conversion of A(X), and the initial concentration of A(C,)0). (B) (15 points) If the Damkohler's number for the operation of the first reactor is 1.5 , what is the conversion of A exiting the first reactor prior to entering the second reactor ( L.e.,,x )? (C) (15 points) Determine the final conversion of A after the second reactor (L1,2,X2)
