Question: A . A CMFR is to be designed to remove contaminant A from water with a steady - state efficiency of 9 5 % .

A. A CMFR is to be designed to remove contaminant A from water with a steady-state efficiency of 95%.
The decay reaction is zeroth order, with a rate constant of 0.1Mh-1. The inlet concentration of A is 0.75
M. What hydraulic detention time is required to achieve the desired efficiency?
B. Another CMFR is to be designed to remove contaminant B from water with a steady-state efficiency of
95%. The contaminant is consumed by a second-order decay reaction with a rate constant of 0.005M-1
s-1. The inlet concentration of B is 0.75M, and the flow rate of water that must be treated is 0.3m3s-1.
How large must the reactor be?
C. Contaminant A is to be treated by a chemical reaction in a PFR. If the reaction proceeds at a first-order
rate, what must be the hydraulic detention time be to achieve 95% removal?
A . A CMFR is to be designed to remove
