  Review the data by Murphree on the pilot-plant reactor.


Figure CDP13-E.


(a) How many tanks in series are necessary to model the RTD data?

(b) What conversion will be predicted by the model for an elementary isomerization with k = 3.1 h-1?

(c) What conversion will be predicted by this model for a second-order isomerization with kCA0 = 3.1 ht conversion is predicted by the segregation model for parts (b) and (c)?
