The third-order liquid-phase reaction with an entering concentration of 2 M

was carried out in a reactor that has the following RTD

(a) For isothermal operation, what is the conversion predicted by

1) a CSTR, a PFR, an LFR, and the segregation model, Xseg.

Hint: Find tm (i.e., x) from the data and then use it with F(t) for each of the ideal reactors.

2) the maximum mixedness model, XMM. Plot X vs. z (or λ) and explain why the curve looks the way it does.

(b) For isothermal operation, at what temperature is the discrepancy between Xseg and XMM the greatest in the range 300 K

(c) Suppose the reaction is carried out adiabatically with an entering temperature of 305 K. Calculate Xseq.
