For nearly isothermal operation involving large reaction time in a liquid-phase reaction, the most suitable reactor is a _________________ reactor?
Correct answer: A. Stirred tank
- A. Stirred tank
- B. Tubular flow
- C. Batch
- D. Fixed bed
Explanation
A stirred-tank reactor provides continuous mixing and effective heat removal, making it suitable for nearly isothermal liquid-phase operation. Its continuous operation can also accommodate long residence times more conveniently than a tubular reactor.
