The impulse response for a tracer test of a chemical reactor system is essentially

Find expressions for:

(a) The response of the system to a step (elution) tracer test, normalized to unit amplitude.

(b) The mean residence time of the system.

(c) The mean age of molecules in the system.

(d) The "completely-segregated" conversion that would be obtained for a reaction with rate constant k (min-1).

(e) The "maximum-mixedness" conversion for the same reaction.
