Unsteady state mass balance for dynamic model of continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is
As noted in the problem statement, the fluid density is constant, so the mass balance equation reduces to V ˙ i n = V ˙ o u t = V ˙ . Assuming the reactor volume is the same as above, the only way to change the mean residence time is to change the volumetric flow rate for the reactor.
