For identical flow rate, feed composition and for elementary first order reactions, 'N' equal sized mixed reactors in series with a total volume 'V' gives the same conversion as a single plug flow reactor of volume 'V' for constant density systems. This is true, when the value of 'N' is ___________________?
Correct answer: C. ∞
- A. 1
- B. > 1
- C. ∞
- D. ≥ 1
Explanation
A finite number of mixed reactors in series only approximates plug flow. As N approaches infinity, the concentration change becomes continuous and the series behaves like a plug-flow reactor.
