3. The reversible liquid reaction 2A + B + C is carried out in an isothermal CSTR with no pressure drop. The feed has an A concentration of 0.1 lbmol/ft and T=300K. The forward reaction rate constant is 1800 ft/lbmol-s and the concentration equilibrium constant is 0.3. a. Determine the equilibrium conversion. (15 pts) b. Determine the reactor volume necessary to achieve 98% of the equilibrium conversion of A if the feed is 10 lb mol/min. (25 pts)
