(1) The effluent concentration readings given below represent a continuous response

to a pulse input into a closed vessel is reported in table 1.

Table 1

A first order liquid phase reaction is carried out in a tubular reactor. The results of

a pulse tracer test on this reactor are tabulated in table 1. Find the conversion of

this reaction using (i) an ideal plug flow reactor (ii) an ideal mixed flow reactor (iii)

the tank-in series model (iv) the closed vessel dispersion model. Specific reaction

rate is 0.25 min-1.

(2) The elementary reaction A+B →C+D is to be carried out in the CSTR and it is shown in

Fig 1. There is both bypassing and a stagnant region in this reactor. The tracer output values

is shown in table 2. The measured reactor volume is 1m3 and the flow rate to the reactor is

0.1 m3/min. The reaction rate constant is 0.28 m3/[Link]. The feed is equimolar in A and

B with entering concentration of A equal to 2.0 kmol/m3. Calculate the conversion. The

entering tracer concentration CTO = 2000 mg/dm3.

(3) The concentration readings in Table 3, represent a continuous response to a pulse input

into a closed vessel which is to be used as a chemical reactor. Here, liquid decomposes with

rate –rA= kCA, k=0.307 min-1. Calculate the vessel dispersion number D/uL.
