The two rate e2pressions ha$e been formulated so that they will necessarily reach e(uilibrium at large
residence times. The rate constant for 4eaction 1 8C1: is set to a large $alue so that this reaction is
essentially at e(uilibrium. The rate constant for 4eaction " determines the urea con$ersion in the
reactor. !nly scant information is a$ailable to determine C" and it is usually best to ad>ust its $alue to fit
plant data. A reasonable appro2imation for C" is the following&
