Assuming the same temperature operation, feed concentration and kinetics in all cases, which of the following configurations would result in the highest conversion (assuming 1st order reaction, liquid phase): (a) A stream of volumetric flow rate vo enters CSTR1 (of volume V) and outlet goes to CSTR2 (of volume V) (b) Two parallel CSTRs (each of volume V) each receiving a stream of volumetric flow rate vo/2 (c) A stream of volumetric flow rate vo enters a single CSTR (of volume 2V). (d) The conversion will be the same for all cases since the space time is the same for all [2 V/vo)
