Impulse tracer response of a reactor made up of two equal stirred tanks connected by a long pipeline is represented by the equation : C(t) = 20 t exp (-3.5t) The rate equation of the reaction to be conducted in this reactor setup is -dC/dt = 0.5C/(1 + 0.3C) Given an initial reactant concentration C. = 2.0, (a) Calculate the segregated conversion in this system. [10 marks] (b) Calculate the overall conversion when the stirred tanks are idea and the pipeline is a PFR with 20% of the residence time and the total residence time corresponds to the original tracer response.
