An elementary reaction A+B  C+D is to be carried out in a non-ideal CSTR which has both bypassing and a stagnant region in this reactor. The measured reactor volume is 1.0 m3 and the flow rate to the reactor is 0.1 m3/min. The reaction rate constant is 0.28 m3/kmol.min. The feed is equimolar in A and B with an entering concentration of A equal to 2.0 kmol/m3 k. Calculate the conversion that can be expected in this reactor if the model parameters of α and β were determined from a tracer test and were found to be 0.8 and 0.3 respectively.
