(b) Flow characteristics of a continuous reactor are studied by sudden introduction of miscible tracer into the feed stream. The concentration of the tracer at the exit of the reactor with time is presented in Table 1. Table 1: Concentration of the tracer in the effluent stream of the reactor at different times t(min) 0.1 0.2 1 2 5 10 30 C (mg/L) 0.20 0.17 0.15 0.125 0.070 0.020 0.001 (i) Calculate the conversion in a segregated flow if the reaction is first order with a specific rate constant k = 0.15. [5 marks] (ii) Compare the calculated value with that of an ideal plug flow. [5 marks]
