Company 4 are a new entrant in reaction engineering. They have built a reactor to convert feed streams A & B in to product R (first order reaction). Their recent chemical engineering graduate from "Oxbridge University" made several mistakes in its design. It was meant to achieve a 95% conversion, however this is not the case. It is much lower. They have now approached CD-19 to offer some expert guidance. Provide sample calculations to calculate the actual conversion if 65% of the volume is well mixed, 35% of the volume locally exhibits plug flow and 10% of the feed bypasses the reactor
