Question: For the gas phase reaction: A+BC+D The feed stream at 500K and 2 atm flows through a plug flow reactor with an initial molar flow

 For the gas phase reaction: A+BC+D The feed stream at 500K

For the gas phase reaction: A+BC+D The feed stream at 500K and 2 atm flows through a plug flow reactor with an initial molar flow rate of 0.85 mol/hour. The feed is 4:1 species A to species B on a molar basis. Use Python (or an equivalent programming language) to calculate the total length of one hundred tubes with a 50cm inner diameter required to reach a conversion of species B of 93%. Neglect the change in pressure, assume ideal gas, and assume the reactor operates adiabatically. The chemical reaction is second order (r=kACB).
