Consider again the nonideal reactor characterized by the RTD data in Example 13–5. The irreversible gas-phase nonelementary reaction

A + B → C + D

is first order in A and second order in B and is to be carried out isothermally. Calculate the conversion for:

(a) A PFR, a laminar flow reactor with complete segregation, and a CSTR.

(b) The cases of complete segregation and maximum mixedness. Also

(c) Plot 7(a) and A (A.) as a function of time and then determine the mean age a and the mean life expectancy X .

(d) How would your answers change if the reaction is carried out adiabatically with parameter values given by Equation [P13-2(h).l]?
