How should we operate a mixed flow reactor so as to maximize the production of R? Separation

Question:

How should we operate a mixed flow reactor so as to maximize the production of R? Separation and recycle of unused reactant is not practical.

When aqueous A and aqueous B (CA0 = CB0) are brought together they react in two possible ways:A + B R+T, S+ U, mol TR=50CA m.hr rs = 100CB mol m.hr

to give a mixture whose concentration of active components (A, B, R, S, T, U) is Ctotal = CA0 + CB, = 60 mol/m3. Find the size of reactor needed and the R/S ratio produced for 90% conversion of an equimolar feed of F = F = 300 mol/hr:

In a reactor that gives highest CR. This should be plug flow for A and side entry for B. In such a reactor introduce B in such a way that CB is constant throughout the reactor.
