Where’s the question at ???
Answer:
The PFR is more efficient in the removal of the reactive compound as it has the higher conversion ratio.
Xₚբᵣ = 0.632
X꜀ₘբᵣ = 0.5
Xₚբᵣ > X꜀ₘբᵣ
Explanation:
From the reaction rate coefficient, it is evident the reaction is a first order reaction
Performance equation for a CMFR for a first order reaction is
kτ = (X)/(1 - X)
k = reaction rate constant = 0.05 /day
τ = Time constant or holding time = V/F₀
V = volume of reactor = 280 m³
F₀ = Flowrate into the reactor = 14 m³/day
X = conversion
k(V/F₀) = (X)/(1 - X)
0.05 × (280/14) = X/(1 - X)
1 = X/(1 - X)
X = 1 - X
2X = 1
X = 1/2 = 0.5
For the PFR
Performance equation for a first order reaction is given by
kτ = In [1/(1 - X)]
The parameters are the same as above,
0.05 × (280/14) = In (1/(1-X)
1 = In (1/(1-X))
e = 1/(1 - X)
2.718 = 1/(1 - X)
1 - X = 1/2.718
1 - X = 0.3679
X = 1 - 0.3679
X = 0.632
The PFR is evidently more efficient in the removal of the reactive compound as it has the higher conversion ratio.
That means “ if possible then link”
Answer:
a) 
b) 
Explanation:
Previous concepts
The cumulative distribution function (CDF) F(x),"describes the probability that a random variableX with a given probability distribution will be found at a value less than or equal to x".
The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution".
Part a
Let X the random variable of interest. We know on this case that 
And we know the probability denisty function for x given by:
In order to find the cdf we need to do the following integral:
Part b
Assuming that 
, then the density function is given by:
And for this case we want this probability:
And evaluating the integral we got:
