The E curve of a reactor is obtained directly from

  • A.a temperature measurement
  • B.a pulse tracer injection at the inlet
  • C.a step change in tracer concentration
  • D.measuring the reactor volume

Answer: B

Correct answer: a pulse tracer injection at the inlet

Injecting a sharp pulse of inert tracer and recording its concentration at the outlet gives the age distribution directly: every tracer molecule entered at the same instant, so the outlet concentration against time, normalised to unit area, is \( E(t) \). A step input gives the cumulative \( F \) curve instead, from which \( E \) must be obtained by differentiating.
