A liquid-phase irreversible reaction: A->B+S follows the elementary reaction rate law. This reaction is carried out in a series of four, equal volume CSTRs at the same reaction temperature. The concentrations of A and B in the feed to the first reactor are Ca0=10M and Cbo=0M. The rate constant (k) for this reaction is 2min^-1 at the operation temperature. The final conversion is 0.594 If the total volume of these four reactors is 6400 L, what is the volume flow rate (in L/h ) to the first reactor? What are the conversions in reactors 1,2 and 3(X1, X2, X3)? Solve by using the "graphing method" (r vs. C graph)
