This has variable volume.
This has variable volume. Acetaldehyde is to be decomposed in a plug

Acetaldehyde is to be decomposed in a plug flow reactor at 791K and 1atm with a 50% conversion of the pure feed. The specific reaction rate at this temperature is known to be 0.33 lit/mol.sec. the reaction is 2nd order irreversible (variable volume) with respect to acetaldehyde concentration, rA=0.33CA2Mol/ lit.sec. the stoichiometric decomposition is given by CH3CHOCH4+CO Find the space time for this reactor to achieve the mentioned conversion
