Question

Comparing CSTR and PFR Sizes
Compare the volumes of a CSTR and a PFR required for the same conversion using the data in Figure 2-2B. Which reactor would require the smaller volume to achieve a conversion of 80%: a CSTR or a PFR? The entering molar flow rate and the feed conditions are the same in both cases.
