  The off gas from a boiling water nuclear power reactor contains a whole variety of radioactive trash, one of the most troublesome being Xe-133 (half-life = 5.2 days). This off gas flows continuously through a large holdup tank in which its mean residence time is 30 days, and where we can assume that the contents are well mixed. Find the percentage of activity removed in the tank.

  A second order liquid phase reaction $A \rightarrow B$ is carried out in a mixed flow reactor operated in semi-batch mode (no exit stream). The reactant $A$ at concentration $C_{AF}$ is fed to the reactor at a volumetric flow rate of $F$. The volume of the reacting mixture is $V$ and the density of the liquid mixture is constant. The mass balance for $A$ is
  
  $\displaystyle \frac {d(VC_A)}{dt} = -F(C_{AF}-C_A)-kC_A^2V$
  
  $\displaystyle \frac {d(VC_A)}{dt} = F(C_{AF}-C_A)-kC_A^2V$
  
  $\displaystyle \frac {d(VC_A)}{dt} = -FC_A-kC_A^2V$
  
  $\displaystyle \frac {d(VC_A)}{dt} = FC_{AF}-kC_A^2V$
