Aqueous A at a concentration CA0 = 1 mol/liter is introduced into a batch reactor where it reacts away to form product R according to stoichiometry A --> R. The concentration of A in the reactor is monitored at various times, as shown below: t, min              0    100  200  300  400 CA, mol/m3 1000 500  333  250  200 For the above reaction, what size of plug flow reactor would be needed for 80% conversion of a feed stream of 1000 mol/hr at CA0 = 1.5 mol/liter?

Question

Aqueous A at a concentration CA0 = 1 mol/liter is introduced into a batch reactor where it reacts away to form product R according to stoichiometry A --> R. The concentration of A in the reactor is monitored at various times, as shown below:

t, min              0    100  200  300  400
CA, mol/m3 1000 500  333  250  200

For the above reaction, what size of plug flow reactor would be needed for 80% conversion of a feed stream of 1000 mol/hr at CA0 = 1.5 mol/liter?
