A first order reaction AP, with a rate constant k = 0.1 min, was carried out in David's reactor. Pure A is fed to the reactor at a concentration of 1.0 mol/m, and a volumetric flow rate of 1.0 m/min. Using a step input experiment, David obtained the following results for the tracer molecules: For 0 t10 min, CT = 2.5 g/m For 10 t20 min, CT = 7.5 g/m For t> 20 min, CT = 10 g/m (a) Sketch the F and E curves for this reactor. (b) What is the mean residence time tm and variance of this reactor? (c) If the fluid is macrofluid, what is the conversion of A? (d) If the fluid is microfluid, what is the conversion of A if David used the Tanks-in-series model? (e) If the fluid is microfluid, what is the conversion of A if David used the Compartment Model?
