The formula to calculate the Reactant Conversion (XA) is:
\[ X_A = 1 - \frac{F_A}{F_{A0}} \]
Reactant Conversion gives us the percentage of reactants converted into products. Enter the percentage as a decimal between 0 and 1. Molar Flow Rate of Unreacted Reactant gives the number of moles of unreacted reactant leaving the system per unit time. The Molar Feed Rate of Reactant gives the number of moles of A being fed to the reactor per unit time.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ X_A = 1 - \frac{1.5}{5} \approx 0.7 \]
The Reactant Conversion is approximately 0.7.
