The reversible isomerization

follows an elementary rate law. If Xe is the equilibrium conversion,

(a) Show for a batch reactor and a

(b) Show for a

(c) Show that the volume efficiency is

and then plot the volume efficiency as a function of the ratio (X/Xc) from 0 to 1.

(d) What would be the volume efficiency for two CSTRs in series with the sum of the two CSTR volumes being the same as the PFR volume?
