Exercise 4.1: CSTR Design Using Damkhler Number (Da)

The elementary reversible reaction A + B 2 C occurs in the liquid phase in an isothermal

CSTR. A stream containing the equimolar amount of A and B in a solvent enters the reactor, and the conversion of A is measured to be 60%. The equilibrium conversion of A under the same inlet conditions is known to be 80%. The volumetric flow rate into the process is to be increased by a factor of 1.5, with the inlet concentrations of A and B and the temperature remaining constant. What is the new conversion of A?
