In an exothermic chemical reactor, the manipulated variable is the flow rate of_______________?
Correct answer: C. Coolant
- A. Product
- B. Reactants
- C. Coolant
- D. None of these
Explanation
For temperature control in an exothermic reactor, coolant flow is commonly manipulated to remove more or less heat and maintain the reactor temperature. Reactant flow may affect temperature, but it is not the usual manipulated variable in this formulation.
