Bioethanol production from glycose takes place in a batch reactor.  Pure glucose is to be taken initially in the reactor.  It is required to produce 3 tons of bioethanol per day.  The molecular weight of bioethanol 46 g/mol.  The density of A is 1.2 g/lt.  The expected conversation of glycose is 75%.  A time of 30 min must be allowed for filling the reactor and 45 min for discharging and cleaning the reactor.  Kinetic calculation shows that a reaction time of 4hr 45 min is needed for the required conversion.  What size reactor must be used? Design a bioreactor.
