Question: A is converted to B ( A B ) using two CSTR ' s connecting in series. The liquid phase reaction is carried out isothermally

A is converted to B(AB) using two CSTR's connecting in series. The liquid
phase reaction is carried out isothermally with suitable homogeneous catalyst.
During the reaction, the volumes of the reactors remain constant. The reaction
rate expression is given as -rA=kCA(molm3(min)). The reaction rate constant is
0.5min-1.
a) Obtain the expression for transfer function relating outlet concentration of the
second reactor and inlet concentration of A.
b) Show that the response is always overdamped or critically damped.
c) If the volumetric flow rate, inlet concentration of A, the volumes of reactors are given as 0.5m3min,0.5molm3 and 5m3, respectively, find the natural period, damping factor and ultimate values of concentration of A in both reactors for an unit step increase in inlet concentration of A.
Please wirte your answer step by step and clearly. I'll remember to evaluate your answer.
 A is converted to B(AB) using two CSTR's connecting in series.
