Question: In system A ( PFR followed by CSTR ) , what is the conversion in the first PFR ? % In system A ( PFR

In system A (PFR followed by CSTR), what is the conversion in the first PFR?
%
In system A (PFR followed by CSTR), what is final/overall conversion? State which system will give the highest overall conversion?
System A (PFR followed by CSTR)
System B (CSTR followed by PFR)
System C (parallel)You have 2 reactors of equal volume (V1=V2=5 liters) available for your use: one a CSTR and the other a PFR.
The reaction is irreversible, isothermal and follows second-order kinetics.
AB
?-rA=kCA2=kCA02(1-xA)2
The rate constant, k=5M-1h-1.
The initial reactant concentration, A is 5mol? liter.
The volumetric flow rate is 30 liters/h.
There are 3 ways you can arrange the system:
(a) Reactors in series: PFR followed by CSTR
(b) Reactors in series: CSTR followed by PFR
(c) Reactors in parallel with half the feed rate going to each reactor after which the exit streams are mixed.
