In case of a P.F.R., there__________________________?
Correct answer: C. Both A. and B.
- A. May be lateral mixing of fluid
- B. Should not be any mixing along the flow path
- C. Both A. and B.
- D. Neither A. nor B.
Explanation
The ideal PFR permits complete lateral or radial mixing but has no axial mixing between fluid elements moving along the reactor. Thus both statements are intended to apply, provided 'along the flow path' means axial mixing.
