The following E(t) curves were obtained from a tracer test on two tubular reactors in which dispersion is believed to occur.
Figure 1: Response curve of a RTD tracer experiment on (a) Reactor A and (b) Reactor B
The following second order reaction:
AkB with kCA0=0.2min-1
is to be carried out in these reactors. Assuming that there is no dispersion occurring either upstream or downstream of the reactor, but only inside the reactor,
(a) Calculate the conversion predicted by the Segregation model for each reactor [5 Marks]
(b) Calculate the conversion predicted by the Maximum Mixedness model for each reactor
[5 Marks]
 The following E(t) curves were obtained from a tracer test on
