A non-linear chemical system is exemplified by a/an_________________?
Correct answer: C. Non-isothermal CSTR
- A. Isothermal CSTR
- B. Mixer
- C. Non-isothermal CSTR
- D. None of these
Explanation
A non-isothermal CSTR is nonlinear because reaction rate depends exponentially on temperature through the Arrhenius relation, while temperature also changes through the heat balance. An isothermal CSTR and an ordinary mixer are commonly modeled linearly under standard assumptions.
