An experimentalist carried out a pulse trace experiment to study
a real plug flow reactor. Considering the expression rate for a
decomposing liquid as βˆ’rA = kCA; k = [𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏𝐏]
minβˆ’1. The experimentalist collected the following data, Time

15 5 20 4 25 2 30 1 Q2.1. Calculate the mean residence time in
minutes. [1 mark] Q2.2. Calculate the area below the pulse curve as
a function of concentration and change in time between readings. [1
mark] Q2.3. Create a table of time, t (min), versus exit age
distribution, E (min-1). [1 mark] Q2.4. Plot E (min-1) versus t
(min) [1 mark] Q2.5. Calculate the unconverted fraction of A for
the ideal PFR. [1 mark] Q2.6. Calculate the fraction of unreacted A
for the real PFR [1 mark] Q2.7. How would you explain and justify
if the unconverted material comes out of the real PFR earlier or
later than the average time (50 words maximum). [1 mark] Q2.8. How
would you explain and justify any effect of short-circuiting and
channelling on reactor performance (50 words maximum). [1 mark]
Q2.9. What distinctive features (at least three) would you analyse
to differentiate compartment models from other models? (50 words
maximum). [1 mark] Q2.10. If D is the dispersion coefficient, what
would you conclude when evaluating D = 0, D β†’ ∞ (50 words
maximum)
