An acid-catalyzed irreversible liquid-phase reaction A B is carried out adiabatically in a CSTR. The reaction is second order in A. The feed is equimolar A and solvent (S, which contains catalyst), and enters the reactor at a total volumetric flow rate of 10 dm3/min at a concentration of A of 4 mol/L. The feed enters at 300 K. The product and reactant heat capacities are 15 cal/(mol°C), the solvent is 18 cal/(mol°C). The reaction rate constant at 300 K...

In the 50 L reactor, 60% of the stoichiometrically limiting reactant is converted. It is desired to achieve 85% conversion of this reactant by placing a CSTR after the PFR. How large should the CSTR be? Consider constant pressure operation in both reactors.
