Question

A reactor with predominantly longitudinal dimension has reaction volume of 3,000 m3.
The influent has flow rate of 600 m3/day and concentration of Na+
200 g/m3 and BOD 200 g/m3. Please answer the following:
a. What is the hydraulic retention time? 
b. What would be concentration decay model along the relative length x=L/L0? 
c. If it is an ideal plug flow reactor, please calculate the concentration profile along the length of the reactor, e.g., x=0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1 of the total length if Na+ is a conservative species while BOD is degradable specie with reaction rate constant k = 0.4/day. 
d. Please plot the concentration profile vs. relative length x for Na+
and BOD, respectively.
