The industrial plant shown below has a 100 liter tubular reactor loaded from three feed tanks and operated with recycling after the reaction mixture passes through a separator. The chemical reaction that takes place in the reactor is A + B → 2R whose velocity equation at a given temperature is: -rA= 5CACB(M/min). In tank 1 there is a solution A with a concentration of 5M. In tank 2 there is a solution B with a concentration of 4M. In tank 3 there is only water. The initial concentration of A and B at the reactor inlet is 1 M for both reactants and the final conversion obtained in the reactor is 99%. In the separator, the total flow that leaves the reactor is divided into equal parts, with only reactant B exiting at the top of the separator, while all the product R formed and the amount of reagent A that has not reacted leave at the bottom of the separator. The concentrations of A and R in this outlet from the bottom of the separator are 0.02M and 3.96M, respectively. To determine: A – the concentration of B at the upper outlet of the separator. B – the supply volumetric flow (?0) at the reactor inlet. C – the volumetric flow rates of each of the feed tanks (?1 – ?2 – ?3)
