Question: A non - elementary reaction is given by A + 2 B = Product ( s ) The reactor is fed at a flow rate

A non-elementary reaction is given by
A +2B =Product(s)
The reactor is fed at a flow rate of 500 L/min. The feed contains 0.2 kmol A/L and 0.3 kmol B/L. The exit stream contains 0.05 kmol B/L. The rate of reaction is given by rA= kA CA CB. By considering reactant B as limiting reactant, design a CSTR necessary to achieve the required conversion of B. Take kA =0.002 L/(kmols). Hint: Start with GMBE in terms of reactant B
