Extracted text: a) A first-order, irreversible liquid-phase reaction is taking place in a CSTR and 60% conversion is obtained. What is the minimum number of CSTR of the same size needed to place downstream in series to achieve 90% of total conversion. b) The irreversible gas phase reaction A +B --→ 2C is carried out in a PBR. The reaction rate is given as -TA = kCA. The feed is equal molar ww www in A and B and the weight of the catalyst used is 15 kg. Additional information FA0 = 100 mol/s k = 1 dm/kg.s CA0 = 1 mol/dm³ ww a = 0.064 kg1 Determine the conversion exiting the reactor.
