Question: a liquid ( v 1 = 1 0 0 lit / mm ) enters a horizontal tubular reactant ( 2 m 2 ) , evolves

a liquid(v1=100lit/mm) enters a horizontal tubular reactant(2 m2), evolves gas, and the gas liquid mixture(v1=100 lit/mm, v2=250 lit/mm) leaves the reactor. thus, only a portion of the reactor contains liquid. to determine this without stopping, a pulse of tracer(2 mol) is introduced into the liquid stream at the inlet. the tracer curve for the liquid is as follows
(a) determine the fraction of the reactor volume occupied by the liquid
(b) is the above result(output curve) accurate?
(c) if a step input of tracer is introduced into the above reactor, determine the output?
