Conversion according to Axial Dispersion Model

L is the length and A is the cross-sectional area of the tubular vessel, q is the volumetric fluid flow rate and u = q/A is the mean velocity of the fluid. C q arid C f are the feed and the exit concentrations of A C (Z) is the concentration of A in the fluid, at a distance Z from the inlet. (-r,i) = kC is the specific reaction rate, where k is the specific reaction rate constant. 

Taking a steady-state balance of A around the vessel section of thickness AZ positioned at a distance Z from inlet 

Rate of bulk flow of A 1 J Rate of bulk flow of A 

The value of Pe estimated for the non-ideal PER is used in the above equation to predict the conversion for a first-order reaction. 

Tracer tests are performed on two different reaction vessels. Responses of the impulse tests conducted on the two reactors are reported below
