    The document is an exam for a Chemical Reactor Design course consisting of two questions. Question 1 involves calculating the volumes of three reactors in a series to achieve specified conversions for the isomerization of butane using provided data and a Levenspiel plot. Question 2 involves calculating the equilibrium constant and conversion for the reversible combustion of nitrogen oxide, determining the rate equation as a function of conversion, and calculating the CSTR volume needed for a specified conversion. The exam directs students to show their work and calculations in full detail to receive credit.
