(25P) 2. The gas phase reaction; (A+3B2C) is carried out isothermal mixed flow reactor (CSTR) at 2atm. Feed stream includes 15%A,60%B and 25% inerts in moles. a) Define the steady-state exit volumetric flow rate (v) as a function of conversion. b) Define the volume of CSTR for the conversion of XA=0.6 if initial concentration of A is 0.1 mol/L and volumetric flow rate of feed (v0) is 100L/min. The rate expression is defined as rA=3CACBmol/Lmin for this reaction
