Consider the following system used to model a real reactor:

Describe how you would evaluate the parameters α and β

(a) Draw the F and E curves for this system of ideal reactors used to model a real reactor using β = 0.2 and α = 0.4. Identify the numerical values of the points on the F curve (e.g., t,) as they relate to z.

(b) If the reaction A → B is second order with kCA0 = 0.5 min−1, what is the conversion assuming the space time for the real reactor is 2 min?
