Chemical Engineering > GATE 2015 > CSTR with Recycle
An isothermal steady state mixed flow reactor (CSTR) of 1 mΒ³ volume is used to carry out the first order liquid-phase reaction A β products. Fresh feed at a volumetric flow rate of Q containing reactant A at a concentration CA0 mixes with the recycle stream at a volumetric flow rate RQ as shown in the figure below.
It is observed that when the recycle ratio R = 0.5, the exit conversion XAf = 50%. When the recycle ratio is increased to R = 2, the new exit conversion (in percent) will be:

Correct : d
