Question: A polymerization reaction at 1 0 2 0 C is 1 . 5 th order of A ( the monomer ) . The monomer isto

A polymerization reaction at 1020 C is 1.5th order of A (the monomer).The monomer isto be treated by two equal sized mixed reactor in series where the product contents of Ais 20%. An increase in production is contemplated by a reactor similar to those beingused. By what percentage can we increase the feed rate and still obtain a productcontaining no more than 20% monomer if the third reactor is connected in series aftersecond reactor, and all the reactors become in series?
