For a reaction of A B, the reaction rate is -TA = KCA. You are asked to design two reactors in series with one CSTR and one PFR. (a) (5 points) In order to save the total reactor volume, do you place CSTR first or PFR first? Why? (b) (5 points) Draw a qualitative Levenspiel plot of 1/(-TA) vs. XA based your answer above. Identify the volume for both the CSTR and PFR reactors. For a reaction of A B, the reaction rate is -TA = KCA. You are asked to design two reactors in series with one CSTR and one PFR.
