Explaing which reactor yields the greater ultimate


The following reaction takes place in two reactors:A -> B, where r=kC(of A), k=1/sec. Compare the reactors when 1 reactor is a BSTR with v=10m^3 and the other is a CSTR with V=10m^3 and Q=10m^3/s. Assume C(of A)(t=0)=C(of Ao)=10mol/m^3. a) solve for C(of A)(t) and X(of A)(t) for the BSTR and the CSTR.

Note: solve generically first, before plugging in the numerical values provided. b) Sketch C(of A)(t) for each together on the same graph. SketchX(of A) (t) together on a new graph. c) Explaing which reactor yields the greater ultimate conversion. Why? d) Can any part of the system (V, Q, k) be changed to alter the answer to (b)? Why or Why not?
