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.
