Q$1$: An isothermal, irreversible gas$-$phase reaction is to be carried out in a continuous flow reactor system

with a feed of $0\mathrm{.}4mo\frac{l}{s}$ of pure A$.$ Experimental data for the variation of reaction rate with conversion have

been obtained to determine the reaction rate. There are BMRs and PFRs$,$ each with a volume of $1\mathrm{.}0m^3,$

available to carry out this reaction.

$AB$

Considering each of the following reactor configurations, calculate the conversion values graphically and

indicate which configuration you would choose:

a$)$ Two BMRs connected in series

b$)$ One PFR and one BMR connected in series

c$)$ One BMR and one PFR connected in series
