For an ideal mixed flow reactor (CSTR), the exit age distribution E(t) is given by __________________?

Correct answer: D. None of the above

  • A. A Dirac delta function
  • B. A step function
  • C. A ramp function
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

An ideal CSTR has an exponential exit age distribution, E(t) = (1/τ)e^(-t/τ), for t ≥ 0. A Dirac delta function describes ideal plug flow, not mixed flow, and none of the listed functions is exponential.
