A first-order reaction with k = 0.1 min^–1 is to be carried out in the reactor whose RTD is shown in Figure 18-19B.

A graph shows a Reactor E-curve, with t ( in minutes) marked on the horizontal axis and E (t in minutes inverse) marked on the vertical axis. The curve shows a vertical line from point (10, 0), up to a peak point, and then decreases steadily to the lowest value at (20, 0).
Fill in Table P18-19B with the conversion predicted by each type of model/reactor.
