Explanation of Solution
Similar to the approximation of heat capacity to a constant, the approximation of isothermal compressibility and coefficient of thermal expansion as a constant is very suited for some instance specifically when the intervals of pressure and/or temperature are small. However from this problem, it can be noted that the variation in both isothermal compressibility and coefficient of thermal expansion are very substantial over higher intervals of temperature and pressure. It can also be noticed that both isothermal compressibility and coefficient of thermal expansion are functions of both temperature and pressure.

- Problem 1. For an irreversible liquid phase reaction 2A -> B, the reaction rate is of the 2nd order with respect to the reactant concentration CA. The concentration-dependent reaction rate is plotted below. This reaction is performed in a cascade of two identical CSTRS (same reactor size and temperature). The inlet concentration of A of the 1st CSTR is 2 mol/L. The outlet concentration of A of the 2nd CSTR is 1 mol/L. The inlet flow rate of the 1st reactor is 100 L/h. Please use the graphical method to determine the outlet concentration of A of the first CSTR and the size of each CSTR. Please briefly show the procedure for reactor size calculation.
