The PFR integral could also be evaluated by
[see Equation (A-22) in Appendix A.41. For the case of reactors in
series, for which there are no side streams, the conversion is based on
the total conversion up to a specified point. For the reaction sequence
the reactolr volumes can be determined from the areas under the curve
of a Levenspiel plot as shown below.
