13. (15 points) (a) A compound is degraded in a completely stirred flow reactor (CSFR) via a first-order reaction with a rate constant k = 5 x 10-3 sec-ยน. At steady state, the reactor must reduce the contaminant concentration from 100 mM to 1 mM. What should be the minimum hydraulic residence time (HRT)? (b) What will be the residence time if the reactor is a plug flow reactor (PFR)? Compare and comment on the results with the two different types of reactors.
