Question: An aqueous feed containing reactant A (1 mole/liter) enters a 2 liter plug-flow reactor and reacts with the reaction 2A -+ B, r (mole/liter min)

An aqueous feed containing reactant A (1 mole/liter) enters a 2 liter plug-flow reactor and reacts with the reaction 2A -+ B, r (mole/liter min) = 0.2CA.

(a) What feed rate (liter/min) will give an outlet concentration of CA = 0.1 mole/liter?

(b) Find the outlet concentration of A (mole/liter) for a feed rate of 0.1 liter/min.

c) Repeat this problem for a stirred reactor
