+# GDP Reactor Series Design
+Function that builds CSTR superstructure model of size NT (default = 5). 
+NT is the number of reactors in series.
+The CSTRs have a single 1st order auto catalytic reaction A -> B and minimizes total reactors series volume. 
+The optimal solution should yield NT reactors with a recycle before reactor NT.
