Alternative reactor systems are being considered to reduce the reactant in a steady liquid flow from an initial concentration of 100 mg/l to a final concentration of 20 mg/l. Assuming a first-order reaction-rate constant of 0.80 day-1. calculate the hydraulic retention time required for each of the following reactor systems:

(a) one plug flow reactor,


(b) one completely mixed reactor, and


(c) two equal-volume completely mixed reactors in series.
