A high space velocity means that a given__________________?
Correct answer: C. Both A. and B.
- A. Reaction can be accomplished with small reactor
- B. Conversion can be obtained with a high feed rate
- C. Both A. and B.
- D. None of these
Explanation
Space velocity is feed rate per unit reactor volume, so a high value indicates a high throughput for a given reactor size. Equivalently, a specified conversion can be achieved in a smaller reactor, making both statements correct.
