In a laboratory experiment, a unit pulse input of tracer is given to an ideal plug flow reactor operating at steady state with a recycle ratio, R=1. The exit age distribution, E(t), of the tracer at the outlet of the reactor is measured. The first four pulses observed at t1, t2 t3, and t4 are shown below.
In addition, use the following data and assumptions
• R is defined as ratio of the volume of fluid returned to the entrance of the reactor to the volume leaving the system
• No reaction occurs in the reactor
• Ignore any dead volume in the recycle loop
If the space time of the plug flow reactor is τ seconds, which one of the following is correct?
• R is defined as ratio of the volume of fluid returned to the entrance of the reactor to the volume leaving the system
• No reaction occurs in the reactor
• Ignore any dead volume in the recycle loop
If the space time of the plug flow reactor is τ seconds, which one of the following is correct?
