Problem 1
Consider a reaction A⇒B in a liquid phase with a second order reaction, kÃ=0.1 L/mol/hr. The feed
contains 2 mol/L of A and enters the reactor with a flowrate of 1 mol/hr. Calculate the volume of a plug
flow reactor to reach 75% conversion.
Repeat the same calculation for first order and zero order reactions.
