The reactions described in Example 6–10 are to be carried out in the reactor whose RTD is described in Example 13–7 with CA0 = CB0 = 0.05 mol/dm3.

(a) Determine the exit selectivities using the segregation model.

(b) Determine the exit selectivities using the maximum mixedness model.

(c) Compare the selectivities in parts (a) and (b) with those that would be found in an ideal PFR and ideal CSTR in which the space time is equal to the mean residence time.

(d) What would your answers to parts (a) to (c) be if the RTD curve rose from zero at t = 0 to a maximum of 50 mg/dm3 after 10 min, and then fell linearly to zero at the end of 20 min?
