An RTD analysis was carried out on a liquid-phase reactor (Chem. Eng. J. 1, 76 (1970)). Analyze the following data:

a. Plot the E(t) curve for these data.
b. What fraction of the material spends between 230 and 270 seconds in the reactor?
c. Plot the F(t) curve for these data.
d. What fraction of the material spends less than 250 seconds in the reactor?
e. What is the mean residence time?
f. What is the variance σ²?
g. Plot E(Θ) and F(Θ) as a function of Θ.
