Question: Liquid phase reaction X + Y > Z r = kC X C Y In a CSTR containing large excess of Y. The reactor, volume

Liquid phase reaction X + Y > Z r = kCXCY In a CSTR containing large excess of Y. The reactor, volume VR, achieves a conversion of 60% at SS. a. What is the steady state conversion if the original reactor is replaced by two CSTRs, each with a volume of VR/2 placed in series? b. What is the steady-state conversion if the original reactor is replaced by three CSTRs, each with a volume of VR/3 placed in series? C. What is the conversion as # of reactors increases?
