A plug-flow reactor is characterized by _____________________?
Correct answer: B. Presence of lateral mixing
- A. High capacity
- B. Presence of lateral mixing
- C. Presence of axial mixing
- D. Constant composition and temperature of reaction mixture
Explanation
An ideal plug-flow reactor has no axial mixing, but fluid elements can mix laterally or radially. Therefore, composition changes along the reactor length while being uniform across a cross-section.
