Afirst order reaction is employed in a destruction kind of a
certain kind of microorganism. ozone is used as the disinfectant
and the reaction is found to be
dc/dt=-kc. where c is the concentration of microorganisms,
microbes/ml. k is the rate constant, and t is time, min.
the present system employs a completely mixed flow reactor and
there is some sort of baffling it to create a series of cmf
reactors.
a. if the objective is to increase the percentage microorganisms
destruction from 80% to 95%, how many cmf reactors are needed in
the series?
