As an engineer in a production facility, your assignment is to specify the size of a reactor needed to react a liquid stream(33 L/min) containing species G (concentration = 0.19 M). The goal is to produce a reactor outlet stream with a concentration of G equal to 0.04 M. To accomplish that, a second stream containing species J (concentration = 1.3 M) is also to enter the reactor but at 75% of the volumetric flow rate of the first stream, as shown.

The irreversible reaction is G + J →P where the reaction rate only depends on species G according to the following kinetic relation:

Given these requirements, what size reactor (L) is needed to produce these results? (Assume equal densities for all streams.)
