Explain how you would use the C-curve to plot an E(t) curve and prove that the area under the Residence time Distribution function E(t) from time t=0 to time t= \infty is equal to unity.
Added by Morgan H.
Step 1
- Let E(t) be the exit-age distribution (the RTD) for a pulse of tracer injected at t = 0. E(t) describes the fraction of tracer exiting the reactor between times t and t + dt. - Let C(t) be the C-curve (the cumulative outlet response) defined as the normalized Show more…
