An isothermal pulse test on the reactor demonstrated a linear increase in output concentration from zero to 0.5 µmol/L over 5 minutes. Subsequently, the concentration decreased linearly back to zero within the following 10 minutes. Answer the following questions and comment on each of the answers:  (Q1) Calculate the values of E(t) and F(t) at 1 minute intervals and present the results in a tabular format. Plot the functions E(t) and F(t). (Q2) What is the mean residence time? If the flow rate were 150 gal/min, what would be the total reactor volume? Comment on the result. A second-order reaction with kC0 = 1.2 min-1 at 325 K is carried out in the system. (Q3) If the reactor were a plug flow with the same flow and volume, what would be the conversion? Comment on the result. (Q4) If the reactor were a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) with the same flow and volume, what would be the conversion? Comment on the result. (Q5) Calculate the conversion if the flow were completely segregated with F(t) above. (Q6) Calculate the conversion if the flow were in a state of maximum mixedness with E(t) above.
