Chapter 18, Problem 18.7P

A tubular reactor has been sized to obtain 98% conversion and to process 0.03 m3/s. The reaction is a first-order irreversible isomerization. The reactor is 3 m long, with a cross-sectional area of 25 dm2. After being built, a pulse tracer test on the reactor gave the following data: tm = 10 s and σ2 = 65 s2. What conversion can be expected in the real reactor?
