A backmix reactor_________________?
Correct answer: C. Is same as ideal stirred tank reactor
- A. Is same as plug-flow reactor
- B. Employs mixing in axial direction only
- C. Is same as ideal stirred tank reactor
- D. Is most suitable for gas phase reaction
Explanation
Backmixing means that material leaving the reactor has the same composition as material throughout the vessel, which is the ideal stirred-tank or CSTR assumption. A plug-flow reactor has negligible axial mixing instead.
