'n' number of plug flow reactors (P.F.R) in series with a total volume 'V' gives the same conversion as one P.F.R. of volume________________?
Correct answer: B. V
- A. V/n
- B. V
- C. V.n
- D. 1/V
Explanation
PFR volumes in series add, and a series of ideal plug-flow sections behaves like one ideal PFR having the same total volume. Thus n reactors with total volume V give the same conversion as one reactor of volume V.
