A liquid feed of pure A (1 mole/liter) is treated in two reactors of 2-liter volume each and reacts with a rate of rA=0.05 CA2, mole/liter-sec. Find what feed rate in liters/min that will give a final outlet concentration of CA=0.50 mole/liter if two CSTRs in series are used.

Question
A liquid feed of pure A (1 mole/liter) is treated in two reactors of 2-liter volume each and reacts with a rate of rA=0.05 CA2, mole/liter-sec. Find what feed rate in liters/min that will give a final outlet concentration of CA=0.50 mole/liter if two CSTRs in series are used.
Find:
a.The total feed rate, in liters/min If two CSTRS in parallel are used in Problem.
b. The total feed rate, in
liters/min if two plug flow reactors in series are used
c. The total feed rate in liters/min if a CSTR and a plug flow reactor hooked up in parallel are used in Problem.
