    The document discusses several problems involving tanks-in-series models for chemical reactors: 1) Calculating fractional conversion using the tanks-in-series model graphically and analytically for a first-order liquid reaction. 2) Determining the expected conversion in a reactor given tracer concentration readings at the outlet that represent non-ideal flow. 3) Calculating the maximum tracer concentration leaving a system of tanks in series if 10 additional tanks are added. It also discusses representing the flow through a vessel using the tanks-in-series model based on an output tracer signal, and selecting the appropriate number of tanks to model a reactor given flow parameters.

    Tutorial 5

    CHE7504: Chemical Reaction Engineering – II

    15. Repeat ‘Problem 10’ to calculate the fractional conversion using tanks-in-series model
    graphically and analytically (2 = 0.2111; –rA = kCA, k = 0.307 min–1; and  = 15 min).

    16. A specially designed vessel is to be used as a reactor for a first-order liquid reaction.
    Since flow in this vessel is suspected to be nonideal, tracer tests are conducted and the
    following concentration readings represent the response at the vessel outlet to a delta-
    function tracer input to the vessel inlet. What conversion can be expected in this reactor if
    conversion in a mixed flow reactor employing the same space time is 82.18%.

    Time, sec 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80
    Concn., mol/L 0 3 5 5 4 2 1 0

    17. Fluid flows at a steady rate through 10 tanks in series. A pulse of tracer is introduced into
    the first tank, the time this tracer leaves the system is measured giving a maximum
    concentration of 100 millimol/liter with a tracer spread of 1 min. If 10 more tanks are
    connected in series with the original 10 tanks, what would be the maximum concentration
    of leaving tracer?

    18. From a pulse input into a vessel, the following output signal is obtained.

    Time, min 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15
    Concn., g/L 0 0 10 10 10 10 0 0

    It is desired to represent the flow through this vessel with the tanks-in-series model.
    Using the variance matching procedure, determine the number of tanks to use.

    19. A closed vessel has flow for which D/uL = 0.2. It is required to represent this vessel by
    the tanks in series model. What value of ‘N’ should be selected?

    20. Simplify the following.
