Pulse Input Experiment a) In a pulse input experiment, a mass (or amount) of tracer M is suddenly injected in one shot into the feed stream entering the reactor in as short a time as is humanly possible. The outlet concentration Cpulse(t) is then measured as a function of time. The figure below depicts a pulse input experiment. If the volumetric flow rate through reactor v is constant, write an equation that relates Cpulse(t) and E(t) (residence time distribution function, RTD) for this experiment. (1 mark)

Step Tracer Experiment b) Write appropriate equations that relate residence time distribution function E(t) with outlet tracer concentration Cstep(t), obtained from the step tracer experiment with a constant volumetric flow rate through reactor v and inlet tracer concentration C0.

c) Write a mathematical expression that would allow you to calculate the mean concentration in exit stream for a nth-order reaction in a constant density reactor with known E (residence time distribution function, RTD). (2mark)
