An isothermal irreversible reaction is being carried out in an ideal tubular flow reactor. The conversion in this case will ______________ with decrease in space time?
Correct answer: C. Decrease
- A. Increase
- B. Increase exponentially
- C. Decrease
- D. Remain unchanged
Explanation
For an irreversible reaction in a tubular flow reactor, conversion increases with residence or space time because reactant has more time to react. Hence decreasing space time decreases conversion.
