Some municipalities add fluoride into drinking water to improve dental health (e.g., help
prevent tooth decay). Due to a major storm event, the fluoride feeder at a drinking water
treatment plant ran out of feed solution. The fluoride feed tank (described as a CMFR) is
connected to a 6-km distribution pipe (behaving as a PFR). The volume of the fluoride tank
is 2.1m3. If the concentration of fluoride in the feed tank solution is 1.43mgL, how long
until the concentration of fluoride is reduced to 0.02mgL at the end of the distribution
pipe. Fluoride can be assumed as a conservative compound (i.e., non-reactive). Hint:
consider this as a two-part problem where you have two types of reactors that are
connected in series (output from the 1st reactor is input for the 2nd reactor).(8 pts)
