A plug-flow reactor is characterized by _____________________?

Correct answer: C. Presence of lateral mixing

  • A. High capacity
  • B. Presence of axial mixing
  • C. Presence of lateral 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.
