Reactor 2. Hence ensuring a uniform flow of the deionized or demineralized water.

This increase
constantly improved with no discrepancies the conductivity of the reactor 3 was inversely
proportional to the time while the reactor one and two were directly proportional to the time. In all I
observed that the continuous increase in the conductivity of reactor and 1 and 2 can also explained
electrically bearing in mind that the deionised or demineralized water was allowing the flow of
electric charge during the experiment therefore becoming a conductor. It could also be drawn from
the from the graph obtained for conductivity against time for Reactor 3 before impulse change it
was observed that as the time increased there was increase in the conductivity values.

REACTOR 1 during impulse change

As shown in section 8.2 of the result obtained during impulse change. It was observed that the
conductivity of reactor 1 increased drastically due to the flow in of potassium chloride solution into
reactor 1 thereby increasing the conductivity of the solution. From the experiment I observed that
the increase in the conductivity for reactor 1 was because of a higher concentration of charge
carriers in the solution.

Furthermore it was observed that form the plot of conductivity against time during impulse change
for reactor 1 was directly proportional to the time which implies for every increase in time there was
increase in the conductivity of the reactor 1.

REACTOR 2 during impulse change

As shown in section 8.2 of the result obtained during impulse change. It was also observed that
the conductivity of the reactor 2 increased form the region of it conductivity being negative to the
region of it being positive. This implied that there was increase in the concentration the solution in
the reactor tank 2 thereby increasing the conductivity of the solution.

Observation was also drawn from the plot of conductivity against time during impulse change. I
observed that the increase in the time interval lead to an increase in the conductivity of reactor 2

REACTOR 3 during impulse change

As shown in section 8.2 of the result obtained during change. It was also observed that the
conductivity of reactor 3 increased also due to the perfect mixing of both reactors 1 and 2. Hence in
the reactor 3 it was also observed that to every increase in the time intervals there was also increase
in the conductivity of the reactor 3. In all during impulse change the values of conductivity for all the
reactors increased showing or implying that there was increase in the conductivity of the solution.

REACTOR 1 after impulse change

As shown in section 8.3 of the result obtained after impulse change. It was observed that the
conductivity of reactor 1 was reducing drastically. This was due to the effect that the concentration
of the solution was altered by switching off the potassium chloride. The drastic reduction was due to
the fact that the reactor 1 being the first reactor to experience the impulse change enhanced the
drastic reduction in the conductivity until deionized water or demineralized water was sufficiently
enough n the reactor.

REACTOR 2 after impulse change

As shown in section 8.3 of the result obtained after impulse change. It was observed that the
conductivity of reactor 2 also reduced drastically. The reason for the drastic reduction was same as
for reactor 1 but the only difference was that reactor 2 had a lower conductivity compared to that of
the reactor1. Hereby enhancing the concentration of the deionized or demineralized water for
another time interval of 15 minutes. From the plot obtained I observed that the conductivity was
constant at a point 3ms on the conductivity scale due to the gradual reduction in the concentration
of the solution.

REACTOR 3 after impulse change

As shown in section 8.3 of the result obtained after impulse change. It was observed that due to the
perfect mixing in reactors 1 and 2 there was no reduction change in the reactor 3 conductivity value
instead there was increase in the value of conductivity for reactor 3 after impulse change until the
time limit was exhausted where by the conductivity for reactor 3 became constant. Hence from the
plot obtained for reactor 3 after impulse change it was noticed that the values of the conductivity
increased until it got to a steady state where the solution was perfectly occupied by the solution of
deionized water hence returning back to the conductivity being constant.

CONCLUSION

Form all the inferences made for Reactors 1,2 and 3 before impulse change it was observed that the
conductivity for reactor 1 and 2 were directly proportional to concentration of deionized water but
inversely proportional to reactor 3. Furthermore the conductivity of the reactants decreased as the
reaction progressed.

That is the conductivity during potassium chloride increase for all the reactors because of there was
sudden increase the concentration of the solution. But after impulse change it was also observe red
that the conductivity of the concentration decreased drastically for both reactors 1 and 2 but kept
increasing in reactor 3 due to perfect mixing of both reactors 1 and 2. Finally the stirred tank reactor
operates in a steady mode with respect to time and space.
