In an ideal P.F.R. at steady state conditions ___________________?
Correct answer: B. The conversion of the reactant varies from point to point along a flow path
- A. The composition of reactants remains constant along a flow path
- B. The conversion of the reactant varies from point to point along a flow path
- C. There is no lateral mixing of fluid
- D. There may be diffusion along the flow path
Explanation
In a plug-flow reactor, fluid elements move progressively downstream, so reactant conversion increases from point to point along the flow path. Ideal plug flow has no axial mixing, while radial mixing is generally assumed, making option c incorrect.
