There is a 2 m3 reactor in storage that is to be used to carry out the liquid-phase second-order reaction

A + B → C

A and B are to be fed in equimolar amounts at a volumetric rate of 1 m3/min. The entering concentration of A is 2 molar, and the specific reaction rate is 1.5 m3/kmol • min. A tracer experiment was carried out and reported in terms of F as a function of time in minutes.

Suggest a two-parameter model consistent with the data; evaluate the model parameters and the expected conversion.
