An isothermal steady state mixed flow reactor (CSTR) of
1m^(3)volume is used
C_(d0)to carry out the first order liquid-phase reaction
A->products. Fresh feed at a volumetric flow rate of Q containing reactant A at a concentration
C_(A0)mixes with the recycle stream at a volumetric flow rate
RQas shown in the figure below. It is observed that when the recycle ratio
R=0.5, the exit conversion
x_(Af)=50%. When the recycle ratio is increased to
R=2, the new exit conversion (in percent) will be: (A) 50.0 (B) 54.3 (C) 58.7 (Marks-2)
