  1. Class Problem #2 The following reaction is to be carried out isothermally in a continuous flow reactor: A  B Compare the volumes of CSTR and PFR that are necessary to consume 90% of A (i.e. CA=0.1 CAO). The entering molar and volumetric flow rates are 5 mol/h and 0.5 L/h, respectively. The reaction rate for the reaction follows a first-order rate law: (-rA) = kCA where, k=0.0001 s-1 [Assume the volumetric flow rate is constant.]
