Question: The liquid phase elementary reaction, A + B = C + D The reaction is carried out isothermally in two CSTRs in series. The reactors

The liquid phase elementary reaction,
A+B=C+D
The reaction is carried out isothermally in two CSTRs in
series. The reactors operate at a temperature of 150C
and a pressure of 5atm. The rate constant at the
operating condition is 35m3*kmole-1*hr-1. The feed
flowrate is 2.16m3.h-1 and the concentrations of A and B
are the same as 0.1kmole.m-3. The desired conversion is
70%.(i) Determine the conversion in the 1st reactor when
the total volume of the reactor cascade is minimum, and
(ii) determine the volume of each reactor.
