Researchers have studied a catalyzed reaction in a ( incompressible ) liquid phase A + B ( C ) P where C is a catalyst.

Researchers have studied a catalyzed reaction in a (incompressible) liquid phase
A+B(C)P
where C is a catalyst. It was reported that the second-order rate constant for this reaction is equal to
k=1.15*10-3m3mol-1ksec-1 at 20C. And the kinetic equation expressing the overall reaction rate is as
follows
rV=kcAcB
Determine the volume of plug flow reactor that would be necessary to achieve 40% conversion of the
compound B assuming isothermal operating conditions and a liquid feed rate of 0.500m3ksec-1. The
feed composition is as follows
cA0=184 mole. m-3
cB0=96.5 mole. m-3 Please provide the complete solution to the problem specified in the attached document. If a calculation Excel is necessary, please attach these file
