Calculate volume of cascade consisting of two ideal tank reactors required for the production of 5 0 M g ? day ethyl acetate. The reaction

Calculate volume of cascade consisting of two ideal tank reactors required for the
production of 50Mg? day ethyl acetate. The reaction is described by the equation:
C2H5OH+CH3COOH=CH3COOC2H5+H2O
A+B=C+D
Reaction rate in the liquid phase is defined by the expression:
r=k(cAcB-cCcDKC)
Reaction rate constant equals k=7.93*10-6[m3kmol*s] and the equilibrium constant
equals KC=2.93. The raw material is as follows (% mass): uA0=46%,uB0=23%,uD0=
31%. The reaction should be carried out to B=0.35. Density of the mixture equals
1020kgm3. Volumes of both reactors are the same.conversion equal to 0.22.Check also the volumetric flow rate value.Try to obtain a formula for space time and conversion (which you use for each reactor) from the balance of reactant B: FB0-FB1+rB1*V=0 for the first reactor and FB1-FB2+rB2*V=0 for the second reactor.megagrams not miligrams per day
