The formula to calculate the Molar Feed Rate of Reactant (FAo) is:
\[ FAo = vo \cdot CAo \]
The Molar Feed Rate of Reactant gives the number of moles of A being fed to the reactor per unit time. The Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor gives the volume of the reactants stream being fed to the reactor per unit time. The Concentration of Key Reactant A in the Feed gives the concentration of reactant A being fed to the reactor.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ FAo = 10 \cdot 0.5 \approx 5 \]
The Molar Feed Rate of Reactant is approximately 5 mol/s.
| Volumetric Flow Rate (m³/s) | Concentration (mol/m³) | Molar Feed Rate (mol/s) |

| 5 | 0.5 | 2.500 |
| 6 | 0.5 | 3.000 |
| 7 | 0.5 | 3.500 |
| 8 | 0.5 | 4.000 |
| 9 | 0.5 | 4.500 |
| 10 | 0.5 | 5.000 |
