Can you help me? I will rate it. Thank you.

An isothermal reversible reaction (AB) is carried out in a liquid solution. The reaction is first order in both directions. The forward rate constant is k1(h1), the backward rate constant is k1(h1), the equilibrium constant is 1 . The inlet molar flow rate to the plant is FA0(mol/h) and enters at rate v0(m3/h). The reactor is a stirred tank of volume Vm3. The exit stream then goes to a separator, where one stream of vR(m3/h) with n times (n>1) the concentration of A at the exit of the reactor (CA) is sent back to the CSTR in a continuous operation. The rest of the stream from the separator becomes the system exit (no reaction occurs in the separator). a. Find the system conversion with respect to k1,v0,vR and V,n. b. Compare this conversion with what you will get if there is no recycle
