A waste stream flows at 2,000 liters/day with a concentration of 60 mg/l of hazardous chemical A. The chemical undergoes a first-order decay reaction with k = 0.01/sec. Complete performance analyses of the three common ideal chemical reactors to determine the effluent concentration of chemical A for the following conditions: 1. CSTR, V = 500 liters 2. PFR, V = 14 liters 3. Batch Reactor, V = 500 liters (i.e., 4 batches of waste processed per day to handle the total daily volume of 2,000 liters) with a reaction time τ = 10 min. Compare and contrast the performance of each reactor type.

A waste stream flows at 2,000 liters/day with a concentration of 60 mg/l of hazardous chemical
A. The chemical undergoes a first-order decay reaction with k = 0.01/sec. Complete performance
analyses of the three common ideal chemical reactors to determine the effluent concentration of
chemical A for the following conditions:
1. CSTR, V = 500 liters
2. PFR, V = 14 liters
3. Batch Reactor, V = 500 liters (i.e., 4 batches of waste processed per day to handle the
total daily volume of 2,000 liters) with a reaction time τ = 10 min.
Compare and contrast the performance of each reactor type.
