Question: The reaction A + B - > 1 / 2 C + 3 / 2 D It was conducted isothermally, and the following data were

The reaction
A + B ->1/2 C +3/2 D
It was conducted isothermally, and the following data were recorded:
(a) How large would a CSTR be to achieve 45% conversion?
(b) Repeat the calculation for a PFR reactor.
(c) Considering that a PFR reactor was added in series after the CSTR reactor in letter (a), what is the
volume needed to achieve 85% conversion?
(d) What is the maximum conversion to be achieved if a CSTR, added in series with the first PFR,
has a volume of 42 dm3? The inlet molar flow rate of A was 150 mol/min.\table[[X,0,0,0,1,0,2,0,3,0,4,0,5,0,6,0,7,0,8,0,9,1,0],[-ra(mol/dm^(3)(min)),1,00,1,25,1,67,2,50,5,00,5,00,5,00,2,00,1,25,0,91,0,72],[1/-FA_(A)(dm^(3)*min/mol),,,,,,,,,,,]]
 The reaction A + B ->1/2 C +3/2 D It was
