The second order aqueous reaction A + B→R + S is run in a large tank reactor (V = 6 m³) and for an equimolar feed stream (C_A0=C_B0) conversion of reactants is 60%. Unfortunately, agitation in our reactor is rather inadequate and tracer tests of the flow within the reactor give the flow model sketched in Fig. P12.11. What size of mixed flow reactor will equal the performance of our present unit?
