Question: Styrene ( A ) and butadiene ( B ) are to be polymerized in series of CSTRs each of volume 2 6 . 5 m

Styrene (A) and butadiene (B) are to be polymerized in series of CSTRs each of volume 26.5m3 according to the 2nd order reaction:
A+BP,rA=10-5CACB
If the initial concentration of styrene is 0.795mollit, of butadiene is 3.55mol? lit and
mix=870kgm3
with a feed rate of 19.7 ton/h:
What is the total number of reactors required for polymerization of 30% of the limiting reactant?
