Question: Consider an ideal CSTR with two inlets and one outlet. Component A is fed into inlet stream 1 and component B is fed into inlet

Consider an ideal CSTR with two inlets and one outlet.
Component A is fed into inlet stream 1 and component B is fed into inlet stream 2
The rate of reaction of species A is as follows: rrxn,A = k0 cA0.5 cB1.5, where k0=0.69 L/gmols
The reactor has the following characteristics:
The system is at a constant density of 1.06 g/cm3
The volumetric flowrate of stream 1 is 10.6 L/s
The mass flowrate of the outlet stream is 70.9 kg/s
The entering concentration of A is 1.6 gmol/L
The entering concentration of B is 3.2 gmol/L
The conversion of species A is 0.39, while the conversion of species B is 0.42
What is the required reactor volume in units of liters?
please include a diagram with relevant streams and labels, clear and explicit units and unit conversions, a list of the governing equations, and a mention of assumptions (e.g., steady-state, isothermal, constant density).
Thank you so much!
