A reactor processes air flowing at 100 actual cubic meters per min (acmra) at 50 °C and 1 atm. The airstream is contaminated with a gaseous pollutant (800 ppm). The contaminant is destroyed in a 30.0 m3 vessel via a first-order reaction. The rate constant for flie reaction is k - 15.0 min-1, The final concentration in the exit stream is 10 ppm Does this reactor more closely approximate a CSTR or a PPR?

Question

A reactor processes air flowing at 100 actual cubic meters per min (acmra) at 50 °C and 1 atm. The airstream is contaminated with a gaseous pollutant (800 ppm). The contaminant is destroyed in a 30.0 m³ vessel via a first-order reaction. The rate constant for flie reaction is k - 15.0 min^-1, The final concentration in the exit stream is 10 ppm Does this reactor more closely
approximate a CSTR or a PPR?
