An autothermal reactor is_________________?

Correct answer: C. Completely self-supporting in its thermal energy requirements

  • A. Most suitable for a second order reaction
  • B. Most suitable for a reversible reaction
  • C. Completely self-supporting in its thermal energy requirements
  • D. Isothermal in nature

Explanation

An autothermal reactor obtains the heat required for an endothermic reaction, or removes the heat generated by an exothermic reaction, through internal heat exchange or reaction heat. Thus, its thermal energy requirements are essentially self-supporting.
