Question: Figure P 1 7 - 6 B ( a ) RTD reactor A; ( b ) RTD reactor B . What is the mean residence

Figure P17-6 B (a) RTD reactor A; (b) RTD reactor B.
What is the mean residence time, tm, and variance, 2, for the reactor
shown in Figure P17-6?B(a)? In Figure P17-6 B (b)?
What is the fraction of the fluid that spends 7 minutes or longer in
Figure P17-6B (a)? In Figure P17-6B (b)?
Find the conversion predicted by the segregation model for reactor A.
Find the conversion predicted by the maximum mixedness model for
reactor A.
Find the conversion predicted by the T-I-S model for reactor A.
Repeat (d)-(f) for reactor B.
Now assume the reaction is first order with k1=0.2min-1, what are the
conversions predicted by the tanks-in-series, the segregation in the
maximum mixedness model?P17B OEQ (Old Exam Question). The following E(t) curves
were obtained from a tracer test on two tubular
reactors in which dispersion is believed to occur.
A second-order reaction
AkB with kCA0=0.2min-1
is to be carried out in this reactor. There is no dispersion
occurring either upstream or downstream of the reactor,
but there is dispersion inside the reactor.
What is the final time t1(in minutes) for the reactor shown in Figure
P17-6 B (a)? In Figure P17-6 B (b)? Please respond to the questions step by step!
