Consider the unconstrained optimization of a CSTR with volume V. 
A ? B

r = k[A]

q [A]

[A] [B] V 
The goal is to maximize F
B
 with respect to changes in the volumetric flow rate, q. 
F
B 
= q[B] 
Steady state material balances on species A and B give: 
0 = F
A0 
- F
A 
- rV = q ([A]
0 
- [A] ) - kV[A] 
0 = F
B0 
- F
B 
+ rV = -q[B] + kV[A] 
Hence, 
[B] = k[A] (V / q ) 
and 
F
B 
= rV = k[A]V ; 
thus production of B is maximized when [A] takes its maximum value, which is [A]
0
. 
Continuing with the material balances, we find: 
[A] =

When Da = k t << 1, [A] goes to [A]

Unfortunately, in the limiting case of infinite flow rate, the concentration of B in the 
output solution is vanishingly small:
