Consider an ideal CSTR with two inlets and one outlet. Component A is fed into inlet stream 1 and component B is fed into inlet stream 2 The rate of reaction of species A is as follows: rrxn,A = KO CA L/gmol.s The reactor has the following characteristics: • The system is at a constant density of 1.12 g/cm³ • The volumetric flowrate of stream 1 is 8.4 L/s • The mass flowrate of the outlet stream is 61.8 kg/s • The entering concentration of A is 1.9 gmol/L • The entering concentration of B is 3.1 gmol/L 0.5 CB 1.5, where ko = 0.44 • The conversion of species A is 0.5, while the conversion of species B is 0.7 What is the required reactor volume in units of liters?
