An irreversible liquid phase reaction A + 3B C+D is to be carried out in a PFR under isothermal condition. Both reactants enter the reactor through two separate identical inlets; with 5 mol/dm3 of A and 0.01 mol/dm of B, respectively. The reaction rate constant at 25 C is 0.1 dm/mol.min, and the activation energy is 1 kcal/min. If the reactor has a space time of 15 min and is operating at 80 C, calculate the conversion.
