Two continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR) of unequal size (1 large and 1 small) are designed to form in series reactor system for a first order liquid phase reaction at fixed temperature. How should the reactors be arranged to achieve the most efficient operation (highest conversion) for a particular output. Justify your conclusion quantitatively. You may plot relevant graphs to support your answers.

If two-reactor scheme to be installed in the system, proposed the best reactor arrangement for the same conversion in (a) that give optimum condition. Justify your answer. Hint: Determine the concentration of reactant between stages at minimum reaction rate.
