11. As a process engineer, you decide to devel of a process using a step test. The process is initially at steady state, with an input flow rate of 5 gpm and an output of 0.75 mol/L. You make a step increase of 0.5 gpm at 3:00 p.m. and do not observe any changes until 3:07 p.m. At 3:20 p.m., the value of the output is 0.8 mol/L. You become distracted and do not have a chance to look at the output variable again, until you leave for happy hour at a local watering hole at 6:30 p.m. You note that the output has ceased to change and has achieved a new steady-state value of 0.85 mol/L. What are the values of the process parameters, with units? Show your work.
