Consider an ideal CSTR with two inlets and one outlet. Component A

 

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: 0.5 rrxn,A=ko CA CB 1.5, where ko = 0.59 L/gmol.s The reactor has the following characteristics: The system is at a constant density of 1.17 g/cm The volumetric flowrate of stream 1 is 9 L/s . The mass flowrate of the outlet stream is 65.3 kg/s The entering concentration of A is 2.4 gmol/L The entering concentration of B is 3.3 gmol/L The conversion of species A is 0.68, while the conversion of species B is 0.78 What is the required reactor volume in units of liters?
