Question: Calculate the reactor volume required to achieve 60 % conversion as well as the space time for the following gas phase reaction in a continuous

Calculate the reactor volume required to achieve 60 % conversion as well as the space time for the following gas phase reaction in a continuous stirred tank reactor:

A + 3B Calculate the reactor volume required to achieve 60 % conversion as well C + D

reaction rate : ( -rA) = kCACB k = 0.02 m3/mol.s

Assume that the mixture behaves like an ideal gas.The inlet molar flow rates of the reactants A is 15 mol/s and reactant B is 65 mol/s. Inert material is present at a flow rate of 10 mol/s. The temperature is 800 K and the pressure is 1 bar.
