Q3// Two stirred tank reactors are available at a chemical plant, one of volume 100 m and the other of volume 50 m?. It is suggested that these tanks be used as a two stage CSTR for carrying out an irreversible liquid phase reaction, A +B Products. The two reactants only will be present in the feed stream in equimolar amounts, CAo = CBo= 1 gmol/lit. The volumetric feed rate will be 20 lit/min. The rate constant is 0.011 lit/(gmol.min). Which tank should be used as the first stage for higher overall conversion?
