Question

A reactor when performed with a tracer and a pulse type tracer signal obtained a non-normalized tracer response as shown in the table below. It is known that the occurrence A→ products in liquid phase follows a first order kinetic proposal and when carried out in the Plug Flow reactor it presents a conversion of 80%

 

It is requested:

-Adjust a model of tanks in series of the same volumes to the real reactor, comment on the results.
-Calculate the conversion at the reactor exit using the model of series mixing tanks of the same volumes
