Question: Consider a liquid phase reaction A + R 2 R . The rate expression for A is - r A = k C A C

Consider a liquid phase reaction A+R2R. The rate expression for A is -rA=kCACR,k
is positive. CA0=2molL,CR0=1molL. The volumetric flow rate is constant.
a. Sketch FA0-rAxA
b. For xA=20%. To achieve minimal total reactor volume, what's the combination
of reactors you should choose? (Only 1 CSTR; only 1 PFR; 1 CSTR+1 PFR; 1
PFR +1 CSTR). If you choose a combination of two reactors, to achieve minimal
total reactor volume, what's the conversion xA at the interface of reactors?
c. For xA=50%. To achieve minimal total reactor volume, what's the combination
of reactors you should choose? (Only 1 CSTR; only 1 PFR; 1 CSTR+1 PFR; 1
PFR+1 CSTR). If you choose a combination of two reactors, to achieve minimal
total reactor volume, what's the conversion xA at the interface of reactors?
 Consider a liquid phase reaction A+R2R. The rate expression for A
