= 1.0 John used an existing reactor in his plant to perform a liquid phase reaction AB to produce product B for his customer. This reaction has a rate constant k mol/(m min). The feed to this reactor is pure A with a concentration of 5 mol/m, and the volumetric flow rate is 5 m/min. John did the tracer experiment, and proposed the following system to model his reactor. V = 5 m/min CSTR 30 m PFR; 20 m V = 1 m/min (a) Determine the analytical expression of E(t) and F(t) for John's reactor. (10 marks) (b) Sketch the E(t) and F(t) curves for John's reactor. (5 marks) (c) Calculate the conversion that can be achieved in John's reactor.
