Verify graphically that the tank is functioning as a perfect mixerthat is, that the expression of Part (b) fits the dataand determine the effective volume Vm3 from the slope of your plot. (d) A solution of a radioactive element with a fairly short half-life (see 10.16) is often used as a tracer for applications like the one in this problem. The advantage of doing so is that the concentration of the tracer at the outlet can be measured with a sensitive radiation detector mounted outside the exit pipe rather than having to draw fluid samples from the pipe and analyze them. What is a potential drawback of radiotracers? Why is it important that the half-life of the tracer be neither too short nor too long?
