An isothermal steady state mixed flow reactor (CSTR) of 1m^(3) volume is used 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 RQ as shown in the figure below.
fR=0.5, the exit conversion x_(Af)=0.5. Find the
new exit conversion if recycle ratio is increased to R=2.0.
