A student performs a tracer experiment on a new reactor $(V=180L$;$Q=11\frac{L}{m}in)$ and obtains

the following data:

a$.$ Calculate the average detention time, $\frac{?}{\text{b}\text{a}\text{r}}(t).$

b$.$ Calculate the theoretical detention time for the ideal flow pattern $(t_d).$

c$.$ If the answers from $($a$)$ and $($b$)$ are different, name one plausible reason that they might be

different.

d$.$ This is a step$/$pulse tracer experiment. $($Circle the correct answer.$)$A student performs a tracer experiment on a new reactor $(V=180L$;$Q=11\frac{L}{m}in)$ and obtains
