The liquid phase reaction given below 

A+B⇔2C 

is carried out adiabatically in a CSTR. A and B are fed to the reactor at 200∘C together with a diluent (with a molar ratio of A:B:D=1:1:3 ). Calculate the reactor volume required to achieve 85% of the maximum allowable conversion using the additional information provided below, if the total molar flow rate is 150 mol/min.
