In a continuous flow reactor, the following reaction M- N is carried out isothermally. The exit concentration of reactant is 15 % of the initial concentration. The input flow rate of the reactant is given as 0.3 mol/min. The reaction rate law is given by: -M = kCM with the rate constant k = 0.002 s. The entering volumetric flow rate is 0.1 m /min .
