In an ideal tubular-flow reactor_________________?
Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.
- A. There is no mixing in longitudinal direction
- B. Mixing takes place in radial direction
- C. There is a uniform velocity across the radius
- D. All A., B. and C.
Explanation
An ideal tubular-flow reactor has plug flow: no longitudinal or axial mixing, complete radial mixing, and a uniform velocity profile assumed across the cross-section. Hence all three statements describe the ideal model.
