kinetics

A product is produced by a nonisothermal, nonclementary, multiple-reaction mechanism. Assume the volumetric flow rate is constant & the same in both reactors. Data for this reaction is shown in the graph below. Use this graph to determine which of the 2 configurations that follow give the smaller total reactor volume. 50 401 30 20 X,-0.3 Fo.Xo X-0.3 X 0.7 -X,-0.7 Config 1 8.6 0.2 Config 2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 Conversion (X) M 101
