(a) A system of three stirred tanks is to be designed to treat a solution containing 4.0 kmol/m3 of a reactant A.

Experiments with a small reactor in the laboratory gave the kinetic data shown as a graph of rate of reaction versus C,in Fig. If the feed rate to the reactor system is 1.2 x l0-4m3/s, what fractional conversion will be obtained if each of the three tanks has a volume of 0.60 m3? (b) Calculate the volumes of the tanks required for the same overall conversion if two equal tanks are used, and if only one tank is used.
