QUESTION IN IMAGEE

Company 2 are looking a bimolecular irreversible reaction, A+B=C+D To be carried out in a liquid phase plug flow reactor. Given the reaction is second order and the mass flow of A and B are respectively 85kg/hr and 110kg/hr. The reactor has a volume of 0.15m³ and is operated isothermally at 112°C giving a conversion of 70%. Can you conduct the following sub tasks: If a continuous stirred tank reactor of volume (i.e contents) 0.025m³ is installed in series upstream of the plug flow reactor, what is the new overall conversion? All other parameters being unchanged.
