Question: The liquid phase reaction A + B - > P is to be carried out in a continuous flow reactor. Calculate both the CSTR and

The liquid phase reaction
A + B -> P
is to be carried out in a continuous flow reactor. Calculate both the CSTR and PFR volumes necessary to
consume 98% of A when the entering volumetric flow rate is 380 Liter/min, assuming kinetic rate law for
this reaction is
- rA=180 CA CB (mol/Liter.min)
The feed contains 90 mmol A/Liter and 180 mmol B/Liter.
