In a continuous flow stirred tank reactor, the composition of the exit stream_________________?

Correct answer: C. Is same as that in the reactor

  • A. Depends upon the flow rate of inlet stream
  • B. Is different than that in the reactor
  • C. Is same as that in the reactor
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For an ideal continuous stirred-tank reactor, perfect mixing makes the concentration uniform throughout the reactor. Consequently, the exit stream has the same composition as the reactor contents, although that composition depends on operating conditions.
