Chapter 5, Problem 5.5P

The elementary gas-phase reaction

2A → B

is carried out in a constant-volume batch reactor where 50% conversion is achieved in 1 hour. Pure A is charged to the reactor at an initial concentration of 0.2 mol/dm3. If the same reaction is carried out in a CSTR, what volume would be necessary to achieve 50% conversion for a feed molar flow rate of 500 mol/h and an entering concentration of A of 0.2 mol/dm3?
