An endothermic aqueous phase first order irreversible reaction is carried out in an adiabatic plug flow reactor. The rate of reaction ?
Correct answer: A. Is maximum at the inlet of the reactor
- A. Is maximum at the inlet of the reactor
- B. Goes through a maximum along the length of the reactor
- C. Goes through a minimum along the length of the reactor
- D. Is maximum at the exit of the reactor
Explanation
In an endothermic adiabatic PFR, temperature decreases along the reactor, lowering the rate constant, and reactant concentration also falls. Consequently, the rate is greatest at the inlet.
