Backmixing is most predominant in___________________?
Correct answer: C. A single CSTR
- A. A well stirred batch reactor
- B. A plug-flow reactor
- C. A single CSTR
- D. CSTR's connected in series
Explanation
A single CSTR is perfectly mixed, so material leaving it has the same composition as material throughout the vessel and experiences maximum backmixing. Plug-flow operation has ideally no backmixing, while several CSTRs in series reduce it progressively.
