Question: 1 . 1 . A site has two plug flow reactors and a CFSTR placed in series. Plot C / CO vs HRT for this

1.1. A site has two plug flow reactors and a CFSTR placed in series. Plot C/CO vs HRT for this configuration. Assume the reaction rate =-KC, where K=0.15d-1.
1.2. The site removes the plug flow reactors and adds two additional CFSTRs, for a total of 3. Plot the new C/Co with respect to HRT. Assume the reaction rate =-KC, where K=0.15d-1.
1.3. Compare the two plots and explain the differences between them.
2.1. Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant located in Austin, Tx has three reactors in series. The first reactor is a plug flow, the second reactor is a CFSTR, and the final reactor is another plug flow. Assuming that all the reactors have the same HRT, plot the tracer output for a pulse input of tracer for this set of reactors. K =0.1d-1.
2.2. Walnut Creek decides to add another Plug Flow reactor to the series, how might this effect the tracer plot from question 5a?(No Plot necessary)
