    This document summarizes mole balance calculations for a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) process. 1) Equations are provided for the mole balance, rate law, and stoichiometry of a reactant A in a CSTR. These equations are combined and solved to determine the reactor volume is 391 L for a single CSTR with 10% conversion of A. 2) Calculations are shown for a process with two CSTRs in series. The conversion of A in each reactor is determined to be 68.4% in the first and 90% in the second, with a volume of 94 L for each reactor. 3) The calculations are extended to three CSTRs in series
