Question: Engineers at facility # 1 designed a 1 . 1 m 3 ideal mixed flow reactor system so that the space time would be 4

Engineers at facility #1 designed a 1.1m3 ideal mixed flow reactor system so that the space time would be 40.0mins for the homogeneous, constant density liquid reaction A+B2C+D where -rA(with units of molL-1min-1) equals 0.11CA0.5CB0.5(i.e., the rate is first order overall, half order with respect to A and half order with respect to B). The initial concentrations of A and B are both 9.00molL-1. Engineers at facility #2 wish to carry out the same reaction, but they only have a 0.37m3 mixed flow reactor available to them. If the inlet volumetric flowrate changes so that the theoretical processing time in facility #2 is the same as in facility #1, determine the conversion (as a percent, rounded to one decimal place) in the mixed flow reactor at facility #2.
