An isothermal reaction is run in both a $15$ L PFR and a $15$ L CSTR$.$ The conversion in each reactor is measured to be $54\%.$ It is suggested that this result means that the reaction is zeroth order in the reactants $$ that is$,$ the reaction rate is not a function of conversion. Could this hypothesis explain the result? Suppose that you are to do an experiment to test this hypothesis, and that you have the ability to change the total volumetric flow rate of the feed stream prior to re$-$establishment of steady state. Explain how you would run this experiment and analyze the

results to prove or disprove the hypothesis.
