For an autocatalytic reactor, the suitable reactor set up is__________________?
Correct answer: C. CSTR followed by P.F. reactor
- A. P.F. reactors in series
- B. CSTR in series
- C. CSTR followed by P.F. reactor
- D. P.F. reactor followed by CSTR
Explanation
An autocatalytic reaction is slow at the feed inlet because little product catalyst is present, so a CSTR first builds up product concentration. The resulting stream can then react efficiently in a PFR, making CSTR followed by PFR the suitable arrangement.

A reactor is generally termed as an autoclave, when it is a_____________________?
If n = overall order of a chemical reaction. a = initial concentration of reactant. t = time required to complete a definite fraction of the reaction. Then pick out the correct relationship ?
A CSTR is to be designed in which an exothermic liquid phase first order reaction of the type, A → R, is taking place. The reactor is to be provided with a jacket in which coolant is flowing. Following data is given: CA0= 5 kmole/m3; XA = 0.5; Feed temperature = reactor temperature = 40°C. Rate constant at 40°C = 1 min-1; (ΔH) = - 40kJ/mole; ρ = 1000kg/m3 CP = 4 J/gm.°C ; q = 10-3 m3/min (ρ and CP are same for the reactant and product streams).
