The A+B → D reaction occurs in a BAR at 423 K rate of irreversible reaction expression, -rA=k1PA (PB / K2PA+PD ) where k1= 0.66 (mol/atm.lt.h) , K2 = 0.50 atm-1 partial pressures atm and reaction rate is in mol/(lt.h). The pressure drop in the reactor is neglected and the pressure is at 2 atm remains constant. The molar feed rate of A is 1200 mol/h and the feed is 40% A, 40% B and 20% inert contains substance. What is the volume to achieve 60% conversion in an isothermally operating reactor should it be?
